Arrived in a cool (48F/9C), windy and rainy Melbourne on Monday morning to be met by Martin in his open Alvis 12/50 for an exhilarating drive to the RACV.
Spent the day walking around downtown or the CBC (City Business Center) as it's termed, cleaning up the 12/50, trying get mobile phone to work with Australian SIM card (without success), and chatting with other Brit Alvis owners.
Three of the 14 Brit Alvises in the garage are already having work done on them to rectify problems which developed on the way to the transport ship in Southampton:
1. A totally disassembled engine with broken camshaft followers
2. An overheating engine with clogged radiator removed for de-clinking and cleaning
3. A broken bonnet (hood) latch.
Official welcome dinner tonight. On the road tomorrow (Wednesday).

All well and good, mate. But have you had a bloody VB yet?
