Sunny Jim's C15D: Scuttle Leak Sorted? Now failing wheel bearing?

[Sunny Jim]

It's the Festive Perineum, that odd period that ain't Christmas though not New Year yet. It's blowing a gale so obviously I should spend the day on the sofa but instead we're travelling half way across the country for some chod.

[Dyslexic Viking]

Any clues as to what it is?

[mintwth]

Looks like a whippet... 

The title's a bit of a clue 😉

Waiting for our lift.

To think I could be on the sofa by the log burner...

Could it possibly be what I think it is?

(And I don't mean the whippet)

Down here, in balmy Ceredigion, we are fighting the dogs for sofa/logburner access. Even the collie (JAWS - Just Another Welsh Sheepdog) is point blank refusing to go outside - that's a rarity.
It's full oilskin weather here ....

Car guess - looks like a whippet? Bond Bug, long nose and the button down windows will be flapping like a whippet's ears on your way home?

[Sunny Jim]

Made it to the station

[High Jetter]

Nice stone walling. Chodspeed.

[Sunny Jim]

Train rammed, standing and lying on the floor room only.

If you've got your scruffy 'this might get messy' collection clothes on, lay down by the dog and you might make a free coffee by the time your stop comes

[Sunny Jim]

Train cancelled so after faffing about we're on another train.

At least this one has a convenient dog-shaped hole for me to lie in.

Sometimes I wish I could hide here on trains.

Is that one diesel or petrol? It's RHD UK sold or an import? As you will have discovered they are great to drive - toasty heater but fans prone to failure.

Keep the underside well waxed - they do like to rust. Most were manufactured at Vigo Spain no vans were made in France - there is a lot of crimped panels on the sills that loves to corrode.

Loads still in the road in France - plentiful parts.

Values are up - €5000 is not unknown these days - and 'Voiture de Collection' status at 30 yo means loads are going to survive. 

Over a million sold!

Pickup is staying here. 

5 minutes of Welsh weather and it'd rust away.
