Back home and all good! This weekend the old Sherpa has covered 1020 miles without missing a beat, all towing a trailer and all but 278 with a car on. All whilst returning 28mpg. Delighted with that. That is nearly 1500 miles since collecting it. I can see it getting a lot of use. Thanks to @Tommyboy12 for putting it on here, and if you could let Tony know his dads old van is still going strong I would appreciate it.

Great to see it getting some use! I'll be sure to let him know!

Time for an update. Since arriving back with the 95 project I have spent a week on the Shropshire canal with family (a great way to waste a week), spent far too much time at the hospital for blood lettings etc and sold one of the longest serving members of the fleet (the Rover P5b). The Rover was collected yesterday and I normally I would say that frees up a space but the Saab has already filled it.

Today, of course, I was offered another project which offers superb value and is a car I would very much like, having had a few before, but none as good as this one. I have spent the day trying to justify it to myself, but ultimately I would have to sell the Saab to make space and time so I have decided against it. The good news is I am going to give you lot a chance to own it, so I will be putting an advert together next. I am a slow typer so give me a bit of time then check the classifieds. I stress I am not making anything off this, just passing the opportunity on. The seller is a good friend and a retired tractor mechanic.

So the car? A 1970 Triumph Vittesse Mk2 2 litre convertible, with a genuine and documented 12 thousand miles from new! Full details in the advert shortly, located near Worksop/Sheffield and here is a taster

Nae bother my friend. I am in the process of fitting a new radiator to your next (much, much smaller) project

I will be in touch to arrange a visit to @GingerNuttz towers once done for a viewing to see if you want to take it on!

Aye no worries, I'll take on whatever it is 100%.

If it hadn't been for you I doubt the Manta would have even been painted by now so even if the next one has been dragged out a field it'll get done 👍
