Weather report or advertising your services? 🤔

Blowing again now. Some damage in S. London - scaffolding down. Bet that made a crash.

not unless he's brought his own fuel hoses as the ones from my XM are still in my garage 🤣

I do apologise, I wanted to get straight in and go pretty much, almost home only another 20 miles left. Was very nice to meet you @Lankytim

[Dyslexic Viking]

Nice. Is this the ex @HMC? or the other? don't remember.

All power to you to do this - and a tribute to the engineers of that car who toiled over the basic design in the mid-1940's - to get it right enough to take a car first introduced in 1949 onto the roads in a storm 75 years later - and arrive safely at it's destination.

Well done for buying this beautiful old car.

[Jim Bell]

That looks like a fine adventure and a great prize. 

[calebaaront]

All in all 227 miles. Didn’t miss a single beat. Very happy with it 

[LightBulbFun]

 

Top buyage and collectioning (espically in this weather)  very much  looking forward to seeing more on this one, and I am glad it managed to stay in the fold for if nothing else, the reassurance that its less likely to get robbed of its registration number!

[danthecapriman]

My word, that is a lovely old rig!👍

I suppose it’s been a good test of its waterproof abilities with the amount of pissing rain this evening.

[Lankytim]

Great meeting you today and congrats on getting back, I never doubted the old crock for a minute!

[danthecapriman]

I really do need to get myself one of these some day. 

[calebaaront]

Took the P4 to shops this morning, already in love.

Watching @Zelandeth pootle around in his before they seem excellent cars to drive locally! Nice buy.

when Zel had his up for sale, I was super tempted for that reason, if someone did a Rover P4 with power steering and an Automatic slushbox, it would be probably be up there in one of the best waft-mobiles

It was how easily it started then how silently it ran that got me! Would be ideal for you! Tax/ulez/mot exempt and still very narrow. Remove the back seat and maybe a chair would push in like a London taxi but smaller
