Yes, Thanks for that and appreciated... Bit of a Ghost anorak myself.....

Yes James Black made a great job of the restoration. Have quite a few photos taken when he brought it to the RREC Rally at Rockingham, happy to share if anyone needs them. Very tempted to put an A/C body on the Ghost, but my wife refuses to go touring in an A/C for some inexplicable reason :-?
