    I got a 98 sq m steel building inc slab for about £25k. Building regs only required as under 100 sq m and 4m at ridge. The same sized brick/tile garage in front of it cost twice as much.

    Moving house to last!!! Whooo Hooo I will try and remember to mention it to Steve when I next talk to him.

    If you can wait a little while they could come south with Steve’s engine.

    Stop being a miserable old git! I can get you one, was looking forward to the curry. 🙂

    Looks like you only got half a Stag, so only half the trouble.

    The suggestion was to use Hagerty in US, who do an International policy. That then covers Europe apparently.

    I believe Pete has given you a few pointers, but as you have found, the insurance market has got more difficult to manoeuvre.

    My “smart” sat nav got me there Saturday with no delays at all, did look up and down at some proper queues mind. As had a stall, was on site at 7:30 Sunday, so never saw any queues.

    It may be worth actually contacting Pete Barrett at Cherished himself, I have noted you get a lot less personal service from others who work there. It is the Triumph and MG show this weekend, perhaps Pete will be there for interrogation purposes.

    Your original diff should have been a 3.27, an OD car would have been a 3.89, which give basically same overall gearing when cruising. The 3.27 is rarer. An OD and a 3.27 gives nice relaxed cruising, but you will probably need to drop out of OD more often. Check what you actually have at the moment.

    A few people have brought cars over the pond for the RBRR and insured the cars on US plates, so it is possible for UK events, well it was. There must be a solution, perhaps try contacting Pete Barrett at Cherished insurance, he is a CT member and has done long distance events.

    ISTR that early 1300fwd, late version f same and the TC had different manifolds. which part did you need? Fitchetts may have a tank in amongst the stuff they are clearing out.

    Weren’t they all J-types?

    28% overdrives featured on Big Healeys, Aston Martins and The old “Auntie” Rovers, I think. Not overly common. I was luckily given a Rover box that the owner had been trying to sell for a year or so without any luck.
