Ohh .. I've been tempted. There was one a couple of villages over from us earlier this year but I daren't bring anything else big home at the moment. Got this little chap at the start of summer to collect sand and gravel.
I can see the quarry gates from the house and I'm sick of paying through the nose for delivery - particularly when I can get there on farm tracks without touching the roads. Need to have the steering box apart though. A previous owner has tried to cure the indistinct steering by tightening the pressure on the worm gear so it still wanders but you have to be a body builder to correct it.

Nice RR! Those old Rolls Royce's have a far smoother engine than you imagine a car that age would have, and apart from the size of them are not bad to drive in a sedately manner.
If you try and take a cat apart the first thing you have is a non working cat.

A car very much of its time. What shocked me when I first drove it was how small the 'under classes' must have been. I'm only 5'8" and I'm a little short of arm and leg room driving - the back however!

Yep, the peasants didn't matter. Boggled me that they produces a body with no weather protection for the driver, but the VIPS's in the back where in abject luxury! A world far away from today - I am pleased to say!Crazy Harry wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 1:23 pmA car very much of its time.
