It was bought by a mate in France and the plan was that it was shipped to me (cheaper to ship to the UK), I do just enough to it to get an MoT so it can be registered in the UK and then it goes to France to be completely restored and transferred to French registration (as it is fairly easy to transfer registration on something from another EU country but virtually impossible to register something from outside the EU). Despite that fact that the ad by the dealer in the US described it as mechanically sound, their definition would seem to differ from ours. By mechanically sound you expect the engine to run and it to be driveable at least, not to have no brake hoses or fuel lines, carbs that have been full of water for so long they are seized solid and a starter motor that is permanently engaged so you can't even turn the engine over! We haven't decided what we are going to do with it yet so it is sitting on my driveway until we do......
