Just proves what happens when you get two people at an auction wanting the same lot. Hope the lucky new owner knows who Tom Hobbs is.

Hey Les, have still got your V8?? So few 75s around this way these days and my 75 is off the road with possible terminal rust underneath, Doesnt seem to matter what I do to treat the rust, it just comes back!!

I know many people don't like it as a rust treatment, but have you tried painting old engine oil underneath. I notice you are in North East Scotland so the winter weather isn't ideal for a cars underbody, i'm in West Wales which is similar weather wise and I've always found old engine oil painted directly onto rust protects the metal and stops it rusting further and it tends to just stay on there.
