I cant imagine driving that distance at Silly-o'clock in the morning having been awake for so long previously! but at least traffic must of been fairly light to make the cruising easier? We are hardy creatures young Dez... also it was hard to fall asleep at the wheel because my arse was making buttons every time there waa even half a splutter from the sodding thing!

A bit of history about the car would be interesting. I was going to return the wheels personally Mark but I wouldn't want to damage the house prices any further... History! Very little, sadly. Jude had left a note on the car away back last year after stumbling across it on his travels. The previous keeper was 87 and gave up driving when the MOT expired at the end of August and his daughter called Jude and asked if he was still interested before she scrapped the car. He knew he couldn't keep it but he did the honourable thing and collected it anyway, hoping he could find it a home. The previous owner bought it in 2004 to replace his previous, rotten Stellar. It's done just under 67k miles and of the 500 or so it has done since August 2018 I've done 437 of them. Apparantly the owner prior to him had it since the early 90s and replaced it with a Getz, so it must have left a good impression. 2 hours ago, quicksilver said: Double the Stellars for double the pleasure!

cms206 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hello. Not much news it has to be said. New battery bought yesterday and new fuel filters picked up this morning. Fitted both and it fired straight up; throttle response seems much improved and it revs a lot cleaner than it did but it'll need a decent run to properly assess if it has cured the fuelling issues completely. The ignition barrel is a bit of a twat to use but it's not completely broken yet. Still not arranged an MOT either, really need to get my finger out. In other news I had a dig about in the paperwork for the car today; it was delivered on August 1st 1987 - remember when August 1st was a big thing? - to V. J. Mendoza & Partners of 1-2 Castle Lane, London SW1E 6DN, a quantity surveying firm who it appears were involved in a number of fairly prestigious building projects in London. According to the service history it had done about 42,200 miles by April 1993. It's done about 66900 as of today, so less than a thousand miles a year on average since then. dome, mat_the_cat, brownnova and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
