Jim Robinson and his son Thomas, trading as JRV8 up in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, have been absolutely great to deal with. After one or two very helpful chats with Jim where he patiently dealt with all my ignorant questions, I put in an order for one of his extensively rebuilt engine and gearbox packages a few months ago, and today was the big day of the delivery. They’d already sent photos of the engine being packed up so I knew exactly what to expect, but even so it was real treat to see it in the flesh. The kit is still not quite here though, so after a quick once over it was time to put the lid back on, ready to move it somewhere out of the way for a few weeks/months.
