chaseracer Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He is indeed a top bloke. He came to SF17 at the Bubble Car Museum, and I don't think we unsettled him too much... RichardK, eddyramrod and somewhatfoolish 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HMC Posted September 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 Always fancied some sort of blown Bentley. This was cheap, and used previously as a daily so I’m hoping for reliability and embracing the slightly faded grandeur vibe. obviously the crappy plates will be binned ASAP 83C, loserone, Surface Rust and 53 others 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HMC Posted September 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 Money shot. I can’t say it been a relaxing drive back as I’ve been listening for noises, sniffing for the aroma of impending doom and watching the gauges like a hawk. But so far no ftp and it’s a lovely cruiser.

Low Horatio gearbox Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Immense and well bought, that one looks impressively not fucked. I saw a similar (Broken) one 2 weeks ago for very little and interested me very briefly. Mind it's still for sale, tho to be fair the inside looks vastly better then the outside.

Zelandeth Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 One of these is similarly on my bucket list (well, actually a Silver Spirit I'm actively after, but I'd not say no to that either!). Hopefully it behaves for you, biggest killer of these (aside from rust) is disuse from what I've seen. If they're used regularly and maintenance is kept on top of - based on the couple of folks I know who have or have had them - they're not too scary. The price of some parts on the other hand is bloody terrifying. See also why disuse is so dangerous to their longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
