I could be intested in this one. It does sound a bit much with all the work needed.

There seems to be two side too them... the caravanners, and the non caravanners ;) I do a fair of camping, but they take it all a bit seriously... putting on a brew on the middle of the M25 or something, I don't understand!

The other half of them are great, I go to a monthly pub trip with my local section, PV on twin's and with disc's all round turns up, as well as a few 1800's on webers etc. Speedy Beardy's :lol:

It's mine now :oops:
Well, it hadn't sold and I couldn't see such a straight car go to scrap, especially one that is local to the point of having always lived in the same area (within a 2 mile radius) as me...
Immediate plan is to dry-store it and buy arch repair sections, new wings and a passenger door skin for future resto..

I'll save the update until next week when I pick up the red 360 :oops:
Almost seems a shame to stash it, but I will have 4 300's on the road, plus possibly the 1.7 MOT'd in summer, and I have loads of other classics...
