I forgot about this post!
It has been an eventful ownership so far!
The misfire that I got on the way home from collecting it ended up being a burnt out valve. Luckily own a car dealership and we got it sorted within a few weeks.
I finally took the car home one Friday night, and excited to take my son out for a drive on Saturday morning...
Saturday morning is wet and cold (early Nov). I didn't even get out of the village until I drove into the back of someone! Someone just stopped in front of me quite suddenly... I locked up as there was around 1/2 inch pedle travel until the brakes bit, ended up hitting the car at around 5mph..... bent wing and radiator surround. The insurance quote was £14'000!
With parts availability it got delayed and delayed and I finally collected it around Sept 2024 (a year from actually buying it!)
I felt terrible as my dad had it for 14 years and it was almost as new after all that time.
Anyway, its all sorted now, I've just moved house and had a nice big double garage built and I'm out it it a few times a week. I love going out for cricket in it and coming home roof and screens off and under the stars!
