dome Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 Despite me and my mate who's taking this offering to get it rolling to get it on the trailer the father of the chap whose garage it's in is insisting on getting it rolling. Here's how that's working out... The front fell off... Ghosty, AnthonyG, theshadow and 15 others 4 1 11 2

SiC Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I've seen worse! I had the windshield off this and the engine went off to a Mini. dome and antony denman 1 1
HMC Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I went to a Massive Bolton scrapyard in 1990 with my dad and it was a trove of loads of 70s and 80s cars with a few 60s models too. Quite a few minors, There were no bmc 1100/1300s - which given the huuuge yard and sales volumes of them to ‘74 seems to suggest they vanished off the roads pretty quickly.
Andrew353w Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I was going to suggest a "Fawlty Towers" comment, as it was a car similar to this John Cleese hit with a bendy tree branch, but looking at the state of this car, perhaps it's a not appropriate!
dome Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 Fear not, it comes with a spare engine. Oh. worldofceri, antony denman, somewhatfoolish and 2 others 3 1 1
Lankytim Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I gave a 1300cc engine and box from an Allegro to a guy in the club and he completely rebuilt it despite it coming from a car with no bonnet, sat out in the open for the previous 15 years or so. It was seized solid and the bores were full of silt. Amazing. Dick Cheeseburger 1

HMC Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Blimey. That’s either very stuck brakes or a very rotten car. Both presumably.
