Hi,
How far did Sevens used to go in the old days between rebores, please?
The engine block on my Ruby is likely to be original (Feb '37) from the M number stamped on it. Given it is currently sleeved and bored to -20 thou, would this suggest that the total mileage the car has travelled is about 5 rebores x 20K = 100K miles, or maybe a bit more? The speedo currently reads 22K - perhaps this is suggesting that the total is about 120K? (That is not a lot in 81 years, though.)
Colin
