Heffalump time. The elephant in the garage in fact. I've owned this since 2004 and it was subject to an extensive restoration in 2008/9, largely done by a mate for whom I laboured tirelessly, as, at that time, I didn't know much about restoring classic cars. It even one a Best in Show, once.
It won't now.... Living outside and being almost abandoned for the last two and a half years has taken it's toll. Pleasingly, I stuck a freshly charged battery in and she fired up third go. Throttle cable decided to stick, so she roared her way into the gargage on a trailing clutch.
Look at that! Thicker than a Conservative Party Convention and just as crazed.
Mercifully, whilst the paint is awful, there is mostly surface rust to deal with, apart from a small bit on the bonnet, and a large bit on the boot lid.
A very large bit on the bootlid.
Well, that should fill my days with joy and happiness for a while.
