Didn't realise they undertook resto work. They're doing well to keep going for being a small trader in todays climate. Would it not be worth waiting till next year as its pretty mint as it is. Or is the plan to enter it into concourse this year.

It's going to be ridiculously clean underneath mate, but with the topside being as mint as it is, I can see why you'd want it all to be to the same standard. Can't wait to see the underside thread develop mate.


Cheers,
