As a couple of you know, I fully intended to change the Wee Beastie in the very near future. I need to spend some money and I decided this was the best way to do it. Then I had a thought ........... why spend 12-15k on a newer RR when I could spend a third of that and do this one up to the nines. Engine recon and get the engine bay all cleaned up, new SS exhaust etc. The rest of the car is immaculate and has NO rust.
So today, I took it for its MOT. Was chatting to the tester and he informed me I would be mad to sell it. GRRRRRRRRR. He reckons the engine is as sweet as a nut and doesn't need reconning!! Needless to say, it passed with flying colours and NO advisories. As far as I can see, it needs 3 jobs doing in the near future. A new alternator as the bearings are just starting to sing, new rocker cover gaskets as they are weeping a tad and a new compressor (it is still running with Richards little jump wire on it).
I am at a loss what to do now ..... do I sell or do I change. If I do change, I shall be offering it on here first as this beastie really needs to stay in the '38 family' and not go to px. I have offered it to a couple of people .......... one said no cos it didn't have LPG. If I do sell, this is going to be the bargain of the decade as I am going to ask a pittance for it.
Even if you don't want it, do you know someone that wants a damned good 38 for peanuts?
