Congratulations. I'm very glad that it's been picked up by someone in this community and that it will have a good future. It looks like you're local to that area - I occasionally travel to see my mother at her residential care home near S****horpe so, if you can let me have some contact details perhaps we could meet up and I can handover the bits & bobs I still have and answer any questions you have once you've had a chance to look it over. (There is some way of sending a PM but I've never done it myself so can't advise you).

Thanks, that would be great. I've just put a similar post on V3M so if you can PM there I can send you details. I love it when a plan comes together!!!

Thanks to Foggyjames who alerted me to the cars proximity to myself!

Well done Andy! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the repair.

Quick update

Picked up today, bit late and dark to get any photos. Bumper, bumper mounting trumpets, one headlamp, grill and radiator needed, all of which are waiting already. (would benefit from a new pair of headlamps as other is corroded anyway.

Minor damage to drivers side wing from folding of bumper, rest of the car is undamaged. The rear silencer is a bit unahappy due to forklift. Need to check underside but they are carefull enough when loading.

I'll update when I've had a better look. The choke went a bit odd after starting, it seams very stiff and had to be operated from under the bonnet. Battery flat and terminals not tight, maybe someones disconnected at some point?

Petrol tank still 3/4 full!

For anyone watching the progress of this car, I'll probably start a thread on V3M

You mean the petrol gauge can go past 1/4 full? That's news to me

I'm going out for the day, but I'm leaving with a big, warm feeling that a 300 series has been reclaimed from the knacker's yard.

Mollusk should be told!
