8 owners in 24 years??? Really? I think thats brill thats more then 10 years an owner! Considering most only own cars 2-4 years at a time
its an average of 3 years an owner.

The member that lived in Derby wasn't around to use it, then David H had it for a year or so, but hardly used it, so then a chap from Kent bought it to use as a daily commuter into London, but found it thirsty, so sold it.
That's four owners in 5 years.

I'm still in shock!
it's quite an animal, they really have a nice bark to them. I can definitely see the appeal of them. Very special cars.
I still can't quite work WHM out. I have heard awful stories about some of their cars, and heard good stories. My car was good, and stripping it proved it. But there were things that went wrong that maybe shouldn't of after recommissioning.
Still for the amount of work Danny did on it, I think it was fair. High but fair.

In what respect? Ancillary parts that don't allow the engine to work properly or main engine bits that need sorting?
