Miss McKnight, I award you 20,000 nice-mad points. :-)
My first thought is that that doesn't remind me so much of a car as a joyriding machine - and I don't mean joyride in it's modern "taken without owner's consent" context. I hope that it brings you much pleasure and that the very sage-looking advice you've received above in the thread turns out to be wise after all.
Do you have to do "double declutching" at all? I'm not sure what that is, but I vaguely associate it with old cars. I don't know whether 1953 is the right sort of age for double declutching, but it might be an issue. Likewise, I don't know what trafficators are and how they differ from indicators.
You didn't mention the registration plates! I am most amused that you have those contemperaneous registration plates. How wonderful.
Oh, and was the title of your pictures page another Shooting Stars reference; does your wonderful car fire questions out of its exhaust?
I wish you very many happy, safe miles together! :-)
