Apart from referring to the car as 'she', which never ceases to frighten me, it's a surprisingly informative ad.

The number of caravans in the background of for sale pics is generally a good sliding scale indicator of how worried you should be about buying a car.

 

1 caravan: Probably an old couple.

2 caravans: are these lunatics then these people selling this car?!

3 or more caravans: well this is obviously circus folk or travelers who will probably want to throw knives at me or demand a bare Knuckle boxing match, which when lost leads inevitably to them demanding all my money before handing me a photo of a car and demanding positive feedback.

the last one I remember seeing was a yellow one at Kenton Lane Service Station in Newcastle in the mid-eigthties, next to brand new Austin Maestros it looked absolutely space-age and still looks superb 33 years later.

 

Yeah, so its looks had to be improved by mounting those stupid wheels.

 

Fucking bravo.

It’s time for me to let go and accept with two young kids, I’m not going to be able to complete this project, which I intended to make into the best hot rod on the planet.

 

You mean Chip Foose can now stop fearing to be unthroned?

 

 

 

It has a Jaguar XK engine installed ( the classic straight six Jaguar XK engine in 4.2 litre guise, which I think was out of an early 60’s mk1)

 

MK1 production ceased in 1959 and its biggest engine option was the 3.4. The 4.2-litre version of the XK was officially released in 1964, a bit like myself.

 

 

 

 It has style and grace and just ooozes class.

 

All that shitheap oozes is some oil.

 

It's fucked.

What if I'm dead tomorrow?

I know exactly where that is, it's very close to the centre of Manchester, I've passed it on deliveries before.

 

Doesn't look terrible in the flesh. Needs a clean though, and it's currently stored outdoors (wonder how long that's been the case). It's on tarmac at least.
