Malcolm will sort pics tomorrow. I'm in the Forest of Dean. Car is tucked in the drive so not so easy to get good pics. but I'll do my best. They'll be posted here.

The Estate is Bob Halliday's old car.

I changed the clutch on that one as well as the Head Gasket when it was in my care a few years ago.

The issue you had with DVLA Cameron will hopefully be gone now since NI's office is closed, and all is managed in Swansea.

I think learning whos car and what work had been done previoisly its too good to break despite my inital comment saying id strip some bits..

think the car needs to be kept as is and as mr savoy is the only one to ask for complete he should rescue it as a full car.

Very true Paul but no replies to show what's going on so thought I'd stick my offer in just in case :)

Campbell is having some suspension issues with it at the moment. It won't rise at all possibly due to air lock.

Campbell smacked it into the wall in the garden as he tried to move it with no brakes, steering or suspension, cracking the nose cone and front bumper, knocking out a side light and pushing the near side headlamp out of alignment.

:-(

It's being moved tomorrow to its final resting place, where it'll be broken for bits - so roll up, as they say.

Replacement purchase is a W210 E320 cdi Merc estate in Obsidian black metallic and on black alloys.

Not being funny but if that happened they would have been taking the thing with them 😄
Break it you buy it as they say in shops and all!
