Has it got a V5, if you got it from a scrap yard, it may have been had the V5 marked as scraped.

I went up to our local PO and handed the V5's over for the GT6 and the Mini. All I had to do, was fill in part of it with 'Historic vehicle' and he taxed them there and then. A week later, the new V5's returned and the new tax category was Historic vehicle. Really easy.

There's a cottage near to us, that had about 6 D1's in the large garden, all overgrown. Some early 2 door versions too. I stopped by a few times (in the D1) and asked what was happening with them. 'all are projects' was the answer and they belonged to her son, who was abroad. I left my number...

Does it smell like normal orse poo

How about BB, he will know, Shirley.

I thought my God, what has happened to it, I just checked the photos I sent you.😁

What did you use to clean it

Don't take any notice, I think he's been banned.

I find my ones seem to drop down a bit.

Brake cleaner is good for cleaning carbs, powerful spray and it breaks down crud and varnish. My Kawasaki hedge cutter was not running well, so stripped and cleaned the carb, instant results.

Sorry for the late reply

I'll get back to you

It's expensive stuff, but a can lasts a while. A Fire hydrant exchange costs around £4k all in, from start to finish, so you can see a £50 tin is well worth it.

We use Kluber release spray at work for when we have a seized mains valves or fire hydrants. It's amazing stuff and I've shifted many seized fittings and saved a few hundred thousand £££'s in not having to exchange stuff. I soak the fitting, then shock it with a club hammer.

That's sickening mate, does it have full service history

That post is over a year old, but you might be lucky

They would have turned it over on the starter and because they have messed up, it's locked up and they thought 'oh Sh1t'. I wouldn't have accepted it back.
