Hi Ruairidh - Yours was a trip of the 'crossing the Alps' scale? A UK trip is perhaps less onerous? I suppose it depends on the state of preservation of the vehicle? Mine has newish rad hoses, for example, so these are less likely to fail - when compared to the Lucas distributor with its ancient condenser?
Another way of looking at this would be to ask what are the 10 most common problems that cause 'a failure to proceed', as the Rolls owners would say?
On a longer journey, weather conditions have to be suffered rather than being avoided? Perhaps I should check how the car performs in terms of misting up and leaking by taking it out in a heavy rain shower beforehand?
Experience shared is an opportunity to learn...
