I’ve done enough messing around with old motors but alas there’s a lot I can no longer do. My 240 was , in a way , is a replacement for my two series Land Rovers which had become too much.
The last straw was when ,putting the front prop on , was no longer, don’t strip the thread but , do I have the strength to tighten enough!
I replaced Baby’s interior yesterday, I’ll have to take it easy today, my back is not in a good mood.

The driving is the pleasure now!😋

Definitely don't mind getting my fingers dirty and nine times out of ten I give things a go to save money and learn about old cars. Unfortunately alot of the skills required are beyond me. Only reason I took the plunge was as my ultimate goal was to have a b20 fitted and luckily the timing was right.
