I last had my Coupe on the road in Sept. 2012 but with a need to pull the Alfa apart for a new clutch slave I thought I'd take the plunge with an MOT test this morning.

It is strange how exotic the car looks in the real world.
Here she is by the brake tester.

The biggest shock was the first time pass - perhaps the first time this has happened.
I hope to come to some meets this year like the Oxfordshire one, also anything that's going on the cycling front.

Welcome back to Coupe driving Peter! That's the problem if it's not yout everyday drive, if there's a problem then there's no urgency to fix, but the result is often long periods off the road. Mine's off the road again, whilst I fix the leaky NRV on the oil vapour system, which has dumped oil throughout the inlet system frown

Thanks Dave - Good that you got it back on the road though.
Is the NRV in a friendly place?
How's John getting on with his Coupe?
