Just received one quotation for an eye-watering sum - already worked out the cost of "go and fetch and return" so was hoping to get something in the couple of thou range to slightly undercut that.
That would be the decider. I seriously considered driving both the cars I previously mentioned home, based on the seller's descriptions.If it runs and drives, what does the train cost these days?
Is it the sort of car that would do a road trip and someone might be able to do a one way drive and fly back?
My '26 Rover (from SA) had a tailshaft that had been cut and shut and butt welded together right in the middle. All the proud weld had been linished off and the tailshaft painted. I had around 200kms racked up on it after taking delivery and it snapped in half without warning at about 80 kph.I have driven old cars purchased sight unseen home from interstate on several occasions. My two essentials are a decent collection of tools and at least two spare wheels. I have never failed to arrive home.
