the VP will be up for sale shortly.....

How come?

[maestego]

i my daughter coming to live with me,so one car has to go and it's not the bmw 325i caddy (thats mine) or the diesel so it's the vp.....
i may break it as i need spare's for the td est,need all doors and bonnet as they are covered in filler.

Have you thought of possibly offering it to Jane & Malcolm of Boston Classic car club as a source of spares for there Monty?

Im sure they would be interested at the right price.

You never know, they may even decide to restore that one too.

if i break it there would be no doors/bonnet/leather seats/door cards/dash or lecey windows they would be on/in my monty td mal then my td est would unique and a one off est

so it has to go for a very good price as the parts are worth more to me than the car

[Guest]

If you break it I would be seriously interested in the interior, possibly the whole car if the price was right

what work would it need to get an MOT on it Andy?

no welding needed on this
just body work bits and it could do with a respray as the scratchs on bonnet/roof/boot lid as it was things stored on top of it befor i got it.
exhurst middle and back box needed.
got new rotoarm and dizzy cap for it now as it didnt want to go over 3/3500 rpm if i went over that it slowed down fast then lift of and start again over 3/3500 rpm so only got just over 35mph out of it so i hope the roto&dizzy will sort that out(fingers cross)
i have put brand new starter fitted(my spare when i had the other vp monty i had)
so overall she needs work and new set of tyre's as they are all cracked due to stored away so long.

will want a good price for it to sell it whole so NO weight in money as i can do that myself...

[maestego]

i will be going to mal's barn very soon to fit those parts and see if that helps on the running so will post up if it's sorted engine wise.....
i'll take the photo's of the repair i have started last year to the rear n/s rust under the 1/4 lower window and other few rusty bits under the rear trim covers(see the vid)

nout else has be played with...

Andy,

End of this month we are getting the man from planning in to finalise the details of the "New Barn", and all being well we will be starting the clearance and build by March latest.

This means that "all being well" from the end of April/ Mid May, I will begin emptying the barn, and moving stuff south in large ammounts.

First cars then parts, so I will need space to get cars out.

Each visit will be short on time, so I will need to be in and out quickly.

Mal.
