My next ‘dream’?

Maybe a Ferrari 275 GTB, to drive to SW France!
Wonderful.

4/4 - Stanley

As usual these have mostly been fixed by owners…
Cracked chassis —> 2014+ chassis and/or revised engine mounts
burnt out rectifiers —> solved by using HD ones
bevel box issues —> noise mostly, solved by earplugs
belt drive issues —> reliable but needs care aligning… early drive sockets replaced by steel ones are ok
cush drive —> replaced by the Centa and maintainable with a mod
obsolete engine —> true for any Mog > 10yrs old?

Best to think of 21st century M3Ws as motorbike equivalents.
Of course there are plenty of <1950 M3Ws treated rightly as classics alongside <2000 4 wheelers - each to their own!

Regarding the dream… I see Malvern becoming a rental centre for all your classic dreams (of a certain style)!

Or better when a dream becomes reality

Over the last 11 years I've done over 70,000 miles in my two M3Ws (a 2013 and now a 2021). In this time I've driven to 22 countries as far afield as Turkey and Montenegro, met loads of great M3W friends, enjoyed great camaraderie and stared in literally 100s of thousand photos and videos from passers by and other road users. Wherever I go the M3W upstages virtually all other cars including Ferraris, Lambos, Bugatti's and even 4 wheel Morgans

I'm certainly not alone in using the car as much and sure there have been issues along the way, as with virtually all M3Ws, but in a way this shared experience has brought the community closer together. My life would be very much the poorer without the M3W!
