Power to the people….well Matilda!

It became obvious in 2020 that ~Matilda~ was down on power on a trip through the rather hilly Peak District between lock-downs.

The answer was to get a new engine from those wizards at The VW Engine Company so we popped Matilda on the trailer and left her with instructions to make her ‘sing’ sweetly again.

Wow what a difference a 1776cc twin port makes over the factory 1400cc of the 60’s!

Luckily Mr Polly’s Parlour had fitted new disc brakes up front the week before, so now we can rein in all that power….and no more hogging the inside lane!!

Big thanks to all the team at The VW Engine Company , Polly xx
