April 2007...
It's been 6 months since Gertie was home, since October last year she's been at Chris Gilley Beetles, having her yearly MOT, a full respray, and then covered with a blanket until the 13th April. But now, she's home, abet missing her stripes & gumballs.

We're having a mini heat wave here in the UK at the mo, so I pulled her out and with Joe, my nephew, we gave her back her stripes. It's taken 5 hours, much quicker than the first time, and with much better results...

January 2007...
It's been two years and three months since Gertie was restored; since then she has lived outside, and when not out & about, in her tent... A few bubbles have appeared over the last year so it was time for a re-fresh - so she's had a re-spray all over except the decklid and wings... A new vinyl perforated headliner has been fitted inside and she has yet to receive a new set of stripes and gumballs...

She'll be home in the Spring, but until then she is being kept warm & dry...
