It Passed a PAT test......

It actually shouldnt have done due to the original flex- the inner core insulation is the old pre 1971 colour scheme- red for live and black for neutral. It also would fail on the fact I fitted a period plug without the half insulated pins ;)-the seller had fitted a new one but I wasnt having that lol!

I want one of those, but I don't want to buy off eBay. I love that green color, and you'll find an upholstery tool faster than I can find them, although I have gotten some with the Convertible kits.

Oh forgot to mention.......

I do also own the US version 2100- sadly tho the lid was broken on its journey across the Atlantic :(. I do however have a lid reserved waiting to make the translantic journey :)

Wow, Seamus :)

Looks like some cleaning's been going on! It's even better than yesterday - and you got a decent pic of the rating plate too! Did you have to change the camera settings, or was it just trial and error?

Anyway congrats! :D

Forgot to say...

We only had 3 versions of the Portable over here this one, one in Pumpkin/Seal Griege without the rewind and one with. Im not sure if the 2nd version was US made but the 3rd wasnt- it came from the French factory as did most of our Convertibles/DAMS.
