Joost Cohen, my co-driver, and I collected Silverado from the Blankemeijer Brothers today, who had niggled the final details on the car. The rattling sunroof now behaves nicely and has gone quiet and the spare Messerschmitt fuel pump went into the smuggler’s box. Frans found a blister on the inside of one of the rear tires, both got replaced by SnowTrac 3 Vredensteins. We had two outside mirrors RS style fitted and what a difference in visibility!

At scrutineering one of the officials thought we were running modern bulbs in our headlights and driving lights, but once they warmed up the blue glow disappeared. That was all they could find…

As a snowstorm was arriving we left Veenendaal with all our goodies and I drove Silverado to its birth. On a quiet strip of highway I could dip into the power of the 2.7 RS engine and managed to shoot a few seconds of footage, so you can share in the aural delight!
Next stop is Sankt Wolfgang in Austria in two weeks from now. More then.
