Steve, you know you want to.
Very good spot ITSv40, and on the video clip from Matthewsons, he does remark on it being most likely weeping head gasket. Whilst they are obviously there to sell motors, it was reassuring that it was pointed out, so gives one a bit more confidence that the other stuff they mention may have a semblance of truth. Perhaps I’m just cynical of course

Yes I would like that very much, but I have a hunch that it will go over the upper estimate as it looks such a good one.

I’m registered to bid, so if any chance the rumours that pre-war stuff has no demand then I may bag a bargain… unlikely I fear. Id guess it will go for £12k upwards???

Cheers
Steve
