Great story! I love the little comments about "getting a spare axle out" etc. Do you have spare axles for all the Sevens....? you must have a BIG shed!

Hi David,

I have a a spare engine, gearbox, dynamo, back axle, front axle and steering column rebuilt for every car. It has taken me 33 years to do this, but it does mean that repairs on my own cars do not normally interfere with work coming in for others.

I have a photo, somewhere...

It took me a few months, but I found the Photo of the above "incident"
