I recently sent an email wishing him a happy birthday on behalf of the CMBA. Mentioned that we often get asked about the Venturer and how I thought it remarkable how many survivors there are.

Looks great - heard via petrolhead re the 15hp you have for it. By the way, love those speaker holes ..

Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
Looking great Neil, who did your upholstery and was it reasonable? What sort of foam was used and how thick and do you think it will be comfortable over a few hours of use? Pm me with cost details if you are happy to divulge???
