We have used a similar aged saloon for over 25 years and I used to have an estate, so it will be good to get back into another. However, it will be sympathetically restored rather than to the standards of the Jonazon, which appeared here - besides I'm retired so not that much cash to splash, just bags of enthusiasm still!

We are going to help the owner clear the garage next week so he can end its rental and properly retire. Then trailer rental will be arranged so it can be transported a few dozen miles west along the coast, where I'll assess things (and put some diesel down the bores to hopefully release the seized engine).

It is good yet another car can be saved from the clutches of possibly another scrappage deal, and NO it won't be broken for spares (as I have plenty anyway). Early Amazons are far too valuable for that, and it has loads of provenance.

I am totally chuffed you have saved the car from breaking or scrap. I would love one, but time and space considerations etc all say NO - or maybe that's just She who Must Be Obeyed?!

Please do us all a favour and keep a photo record and keep us updated with the restoration as it progresses?

Cheers,

^^Agreed, great suggestion.

And I'm glad you got the car Paul. A happy ending!
