Watched my old lass trundle down the road this afternoon on her way to a new life.  Slight problems starting due to dead battery but got there in the end.  Good to see her go under her own power though, even if it was a little bit problematic initially.

Charlie and his g/f Milly were happy with her though and I know she will be well cared for too.

Pleased she didn't end up in a scrapyard.

The new owner of my car is called Charlie and he has a girlfriend, Milly.  I shall 'introduce' them to this site once everything has been sorted.

I hope you will make them as welcome as you have me over the past months.  They are a nice young couple and will probably ask lots of questions and want lots of advice too.  Charlie has various contacts who can do welding, chroming and leatherwork but every day things he will more than likely ask about.

Already done that at 6pm when I logged online.  Only had confirmation at 3pm but couldn't get online until 6pm.  Least it was stated that the car could be sold prior to auction completion due to it being advertised elsewhere.

Spoken to new owner and he is looking forward to starting work to get the car up together...so she will be going this weekend for a new life on the mainland


Alls well, that ends well

Yep..she will be fully restored over the winter months ready for the Spring and probably showed once completed.

I know the lad who is taking her on, he also has a twin turbo Supra and he was at a meet back in march for the Supra owners club.  He just needed to ensure that he had space to keep her before taking her on, she will be sharing a garage with the TT Supra and a beautiful E Type Jaguar.

Good news...at last...

The car has been rehomed and is being collected this weekend.  She will be driven on trade plates to a friend of mine who had expressed interest but just required confirmation of storage facilities, which came through at 3pm this afternoon.



Thanx to everyone who helped rehome her, much appreciated

Well the car was viewed at the weekend.  Due to transport costs however the car remains on my driveway.  The viewer did agree, however, the car is too good to scrap or break and would make a good car with time and not too much money.

Oh well....time is running out for her...will be a great shame if she does go to the great big M25 carpark in the sky.
