That's amazing! How many miles? (If any ? )

The car is on about 28500 miles now and in rude health. I’ve cleaned it more times than I’ve driven it in the last 8 weeks!
I know I wanted to keep the mileage down after doing about 2k in the first 6 weeks of ownership, I didn’t expect a lockdown 3 months ago and that would be the reason that the mileage has been limited. I’ve done a 114 miles in 3 months.

Thank you and I’m really glad I’d seen ropy examples previously encouraging me to hold out for the absolute best I could find. Granted I paid a bit more than I originally budgeted for an A2 but I've been really happy and haven’t regretted going beyond budget at all.
When the opportunity for a A2OC meet arises, I‘d really like to see other fantastic examples including yours which I think is probably one of the lowest mileage A2’s in existence.

.....succumbed to temptation and pressed the button for the OSS. To my surprise and delight, both sections opened without too much complaint, and I was able to enjoy the experience on my way into work this afternoon in the gloriously perfect bank holiday weather.
This now gives me two things to consider.
1. Now it is open, what should I use to lubricate the seals etc to help keep it in good order? Given that it’s now 3pm on a bank holiday, my choices might be limited. Any suggestions?
2. As it seems to run reasonably smoothly, I reckon I could have a go at fixing it by repairing the motor/worm drive which seems to be the main fault. I’ve done a bit of research and have seen the German YouTube video where a repair is done with a carefully sized and bent metal bracket with the roof still in situ. Has anyone else tried this?

Kudos for summing the courage to open your OSS, in 2 years of ownership I have never gone near my rocker button!
