Took a couple of goes but this fit back behind the garage, now with the mower in front of it.

Truck is where the GTA was, both are now under a roof, which is good. Keeps the sun off them for the most part.

I offered it for sale, got a bit of interest but nothing serious.

Parked it up and that's where it's been since.

I would love that, love the shape of it being a two door, but too far way

70 miles to the RO-RO shipping port.

It got a bit spluttery and upset earlier but it's not been driven anywhere. Aircon still works though.

You're welcome to. Hairnet took a short ride in it and can attest to its Frenchness.

It'll be here. I can't see anyone else wanting to buy it, and it's now tucked away well out of public view.

@PhilA Look can't you tell I am a mouth breathing timewaster ?

but if you want to respray it and do a full mechanical overhaul and put it in a container for £500 I could be interested ?

45 minute paint job. Looks like it, too. Don't like painting silver but it looks better than it did.

 

It runs, I painted it. What more do you need? Heh

An Alliance Renner would be a unicorn in the UK; instant obscurity cred at any car show.

I've had this rusty tube kicking around for years. It's not much use for anything so it was going to be scrapped.  Today I finally made some use of it. 

Rusty pipe, some scabby 6mm plate, an old tin of Matt laquer and a mig welder later.

Assume this is to appease Mrs £95 following the arrival of the Gilbern?

[wuvvum]

I find it mildly amusing that the only 'shiter most of our overseas contingent have ever met is Hairnet.

[somewhatfoolish]

It's like having Stanley Unwin as Ambassador.

There have been repatriation plans for a while now   

[wuvvum]

Don't blame you tbh - if I had a car with that interior I'd want to hold onto it.

I was worried for a bit, I thought that was what she had gone shopping in, you pinched it back, so she had to go home on the bus to find he'd bought a Gilbern.

I'm off to Somerset in the morning to visit my parents.  Haven't seen them since Christmas, and apart from a brief foray over the border to Bury St Eds to pick up a pushbike I haven't been out of Norfolk for over three months.  I'm properly looking forward to it.

I enjoy SiC's musings on his MGB, and the most recent video was good- everyone loves a good cold start video.

So, I felt compelled to do my own, a tribute to an MGB cold start.
