Hi Alan,

Been checking the Matthewsons site and today they have a Timed Auction for lots that didn’t sell, including the reddy brown roller……

https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction...pp=48&pn=1&g=1

Ends Thursday at noon, opening bid minimum£6k but who knows what reserve….

Bon chance😀

Cheers
Steve

That is more than a bit tempting.

I'm just back from 'Vegas (last night) having cajoled the flooring contractor to complete the job. It took him 3 weeks to do what should have been a 3 day job, and I had to be there to oversee him at the end to make sure he didn't slope off - but we got there eventually, and to his credit he did a nice job.

That was another tangent of mine and nothing to do with RR (or Volvo) motor cars - but I'm just picking up the other threads that were going on in my life.

I'll sit down and have a look at that RR auction this evening - many thanks for the prompt.

Alan

Well now, looks a rather nice example, albeit asking strong money for it.

Just wish they show registration, as the cynic in me just thinks what are they hiding.

Cheers

Oh dear. Some idiot has put OAT antifreeze in it. Also scarily low mileage, suggests it spent all its life running on choke so the rings will be shot, possibly the bores too. Can't remember if that's a manual or auto choke but either way not good.

Well it’s certainly not a ‘looker’ in the conventional sense, but I quite like being un-conventional / eccentric

I’ll echo that to the rafters Steve!😁

A very conventional friend of mine refers to Baby as “ the box”!
