Preservation
NUD105L

Dave Clements' Oxford ultra low height DP Series 2 VR NUD105L suffered a gearbox failure in October, so the winter month weekends have been spent removing the engine and gearbox, sending the gearbox away for overhaul and then putting everything back together again.
Everything was at last finished on Sunday 1st April 2012 so 105 went on a successful road test on Monday evening. The road test picture (below, copyright of Dave Clements) is in the Oxfordshire village of Ambrosden. The photo above shows the gearbox (blue) prior to it being mated up with the flywheel.
More of his photos are on his Flick page (click here) showing the engine/gearbox removal and replacement , together with restoration photos of his other VR, flat front OFC902H.
