Anyone need a nippy crankcase.
An expensive auction all round.
I expected this lot to be around the £1,200 mark plus the 15% auction fees.
When I had a look at the lot. It came with a good useable ALTA head, and A very very good 9E head. Looks to good to be original. But the PAT number looks orig. I also checked the gearbox and its a nippy sports gearbox. Nobody had cleaned it of to check when I loaded. So I take it most mist it.
Due to this I adjusted my top bid to £1,500 and got it. One more bid and I'd walk away.
And if you are one of those who think austin seven spares are expensive. Please don't look at pre war motorcycles.
The big loss of the day is that the van broke down on the way home
3 hours spent sitting on the M65.
That made it a 17 hour day, after doing 19 hours driving round surry and East Sussex friday.
Time for a break, Tony.
