I certainly hope mine is reliable. My 45 year old TR6 has only "failed to proceed" on one occasion in the 7 years I've owned it and even then I was able to bump start it. Hopefully a considerably newer (and more expensive) should at least do as well.
No problems on my 300 mile trip to Norfolk and I'm quite happy to book in for the Powderham show in Devon next month the week after Blenheim.

Ps or am I just tempting fate......
