That is a beautiful car. We need to up-fresh your coil like I did with Chloe's engine. That's a Bosch blue coil under the paint:

That is nice.
Question - should the engine bay be yellow? The same colour as the body?

That's a beautiful job on the coil. I think mine is supposed to be blue, which of course means I have a black one. go fig.

Note the Throttle Positioner which on "over run" holds the throttle open a bit and stops that awful "pop pop" when you decelerate.

Yes. Good time to replace your tarboards with look-alike safer replacement as discussed.
