Pokey is just about all done. Have a new transmission on order from PA Blanchards that arrives next week, need to finish the exhaust system and put a few stickers in the right places, but aside from that it’s ready to roll. Even took it for a test drive last night. Drove great and thankfully I can still remember how to drive a stick. 
It’s been 4+ years since the Rover was taken to the shop for this build and probably close to 10 years since I last drove it so yesterday was a very happy day.

Excellent work young man!

Apologies for the delay in replying. The engine color is called Duck Egg Blue. It’s commonly, if not always, used on British MOD engines. My restoration shop recreated it for me by matching the paint color on the original 4 cylinder petrol engine we removed, but here’s a link to the color online.Love the engine colour
