Aware that D1 prices are rising rapidly I've been on the lookout for a cheap one for a while.Spotted this on the'Bay,committed the cardinal sin of purchasing unseen(@£900 it was worth a gamble).Cheap because it only had 1st/3rd/5th but i pre booked an MOT,got insurance and i intended to drive it back.WCPGW?.So come yesterday we loaded my oppo's D1 with everything I could think we would need and set sail for N Cornwall.Found the place easy enough,car looked ok,chucked in the new battery I'd bought(it had been laid up for 2yrs) and turned the key.Nothing.Immobiliser stuck on,tried a new battery in the key fob but it was dead.Ok so far so good*.Decided to tow it the 30 odd miles home which we duly did.No pics of the journey back due to a strap a little* shorter than I would have liked and not much brakes hence left hand was permanently holding the transmission brake.🤣.Anyway,Jim knows what's what and the miles steadily clicked off until we arrived back at the DTV Ranch.Further update dreckly.🙂.
