They're all rare Nick and all rather lovely too. Truth be known I think most of us would love to have one example of each.

As Ken indicated to me via PM this morning Mushy Vee may require some brake work during the ED weekender (brake hoses, front pads, rear cylinders) before she is loaded for transport at Southampton. An oil change and filter would also be very helpful (since she has been sitting for so long). Can anyone supply these bits locally for me so that I don't have to have them sent in from Holland ??

N/S Steering arm has relative movement at it's fixings (?) O/S same as above (?) Nearside outer sill has a sharp edge due to corrosion Offside outer same as above Nearside rear 1/4 panel as above Offside rear 1/4 panel as above Offside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak Nearside shock absorber not functioning (oh ok!!)

Not as much worried about the panel work as I am about the mechanical end of Mushy Nick in order to get her to Southampton.
John ;D

The worst apparant bit of the panel work is a hole at the front of the rear wheel arch about 2 to 3 inch square. Does that make sense? Mechanical stuff is the priority fellow Daffers, oh yes.
Nick, it would take you about 5 mins to sort it out including cutting a patch out lol+++.

No Vince.....
Mushy will be going much later (I have not heard back from Veronica). The plan is to send her towards the end of September so that everything mechanical will be squared away and all my bits have been gathered.
Even though there is still room on your ship...the car and I need more time to get everything sorted.

Last I heard the shipment was booked and everything was squared up, she was just gathering everything together to be mailed to me. Some other lady replied and said she had been out for a few days though. Hope everything is well. Come Monday everything should be good. Good idea though not to rush everything! Vince
