Anyone that might be interested.
I drove the b from the barn I rent to home on the weekend. 15 miles and some sizeable hills. Made it all in one go with out stalling or missing a beat.
Bloody impressive for a machine that’s 72 years old

Sounds like a fun outing. Any pictures? What is the weather doing in the UK? Do you farm?

That was about 1hour 40 mins. It was very fun and wet at times as here in the uk even in June it raining night and day at the moment.
No I don’t farm, I wish I did. I’m actually a fireman.
Two little minor points for a few minutes I was smoking because left hand brake was stuck on. And started to steam and vent off at the radiator cap but opened the grill flaps and all was good again.
Definitely gained confidence in the little b.

Wonderful to hear.
You can see why the B is my favorite. Sounds like my favorite has another fan from "across the pond" Look forward to hearing further reports Have fun. Good Luck! Bill Long
