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.

Holy fuck! That’s amazing. You know how to live.

[andyberg]

Ah yes, a proper shape for a posh English car, none of this bloated German nonsense. Well bought. Asking for others tho, when's the roffle?

[wuvvum]

Fantastic!  I assume it'll still be carb'd on a B-plate?  Have you worked out how many gpm you're getting?

[Zelandeth]

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.

She's built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro.

Holy shit was this Glyn Johns' car??

Actual living legend, inventor of a method for recording drums that he used extensively with Led Zeppelin, engineer on Beatles recordings, and a whole lot more besides

If you watch Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary about the Beatles that came out recently you'll see him in it loads

Yeah, if you ever get bored of it please offer it to me for significantly more than you paid and I'll probably still find it hard to resist

(my wife will kill me)

[RobT]

Fucking brilliant.  I hope it doesn't ruin you, but life's too short.

EFA.

This is literally the opposite of what one would expect to do in a pending winter catastrophe, so I commend this decision.

Please let Iain Tyrell tune it with his rubber pipe

An absolute legend in recording circles.  His method of drum recording (as pioneered on some of the Zeppelin records) has had a real resurgence in the last few years as people have re-discovered it to good effect.

Stonking buy.

EDIT: I see @Dan_ZTT has beaten me to it.  The curse of audio production nerds strikes again.

[stuboy]
