I think it´s great fun going off on a projekt like this. Get some pics up when you get it home. Dare you drive it back

If you think you are slightly borderline then what about taking the car and a trailer first 3 hour trip to Gothenburg then from Newcastle to Montrose to pick up this. And then all the way back again. The guy on the left looking quite pleased with himself is the seller. The other is Robert my son who was 12 then (now 20)

No tow ropes were needed. It was a very eventful journey all the same. I did abandon it once in a layby to go to Halfords and I nearly hit it with a stick. To say Starts and drives well was not truthful at all.
