Re: EBay Finds
It is indeed nice script, and I thank you for that anecdote from the latter days of our once-great Empire, but that doesn't change the fact that the car won't go (or sound) anywhere nearly as well as it looks. Which is a shame.mercrocker wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 10:40 am One-and-a-half, John....None of your decimals on a Nuffield Riley....Even when they adopted Frog-ness they still spelled it out...

Re: EBay Finds
the issue with these cars has always been the ash frame under the steel skin. Rots away slowly but surely and is the mother of all jobs to fix properly.SiC wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 11:20 pm This doesn't seem a too outrageous price imo for an early 50s luxury car if the description of its condition is reasonably accurate. Low owner count too.
Got a nice arse to it too
