I was  forwarded the following link by a friend who thought I might know someone who would be interested. 

https://auctions.silverlake.co.uk/Lot/ed00f5fe-adf7-4054-afdd-a6ef7a0e48ef

Neither me nor my mate have any affiliation with the sellers and I know nothing more than is in the advert.

Had a nice Drive it Day trip to Kidderminster 🙂

This years in house competition will not include, I hope, `Lets find the engine`

We were all just gazing in wonder at the beauty of a mk1 engine bay. 😊

Rusty Custard is now sold. 

Hi Steve

Not today, got someone coming tomorrow morning as well though. I'll set myself a reminder to let you know what happens.

Hi Dan

I'd be wary about using a coating on the inside of the tank.  If the prepared surface isn't perfect the coating can peel off and block the outlet - ask me how I know! The problem is that inspecting the inside of the tank prior to application is tricky to say the least and you never know if it's good enough. 

Obviously I don't know your budget but I'd be considering a new or at least good second hand tank instead.  New won't be cheap but Stoneleigh is less than 2 weeks away and you might find a decent one there for less.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Ok no worries. I'll post on here if it sells or not

Hi Steve

No not sold yet, still available.  I do have someone coming to look at it on Saturday though.

Cheers

Richard

I'll ring you this evening if that's ok

I am selling my mk2 2000 Rusty Custard - 1971 saloon, originally a 2000 auto, now 2500 mod.  I have owned the car for just under 2 years, bought as a stop gap while my mk1 was having repairs it is now time to sell it on.

This is a well known club car, been owned by a variety of CT members and has done several RBRRs - including the last two.  Also completed the 2022 10CR, last year's HCR, the 2022 C2C and a fair few 12 car rallies and run outs.

Recent work carried out - replacement 3.7 diff fitted, gearbox mount replaced, both track control arms, track rod ends and drag strut bushes.  As a result the car now has a full year's MOT.

123 distributor, MG ZT front seats, TR6 wheels fitted and a very comprehensive history file.

£4500 ono, the car is located in Worcester.

Today Tim Ward and myself (mainly Tim) fitted one of Dylan Day's throttle brackets to the mk1. This takes the place of the linkage where the cable attaches. They're very well made, throttle response is instant and the car feels fantastic 🙂

Dylan still has a few left. His number is 07583590581 and they're available for £60 + postage. I'm not involved at all apart from being a happy customer, and I said that I'd mention it on here as Dylan isn't a CT member.

Copied from the members only section as Dylan has said that he doesn't mind his number being on here

You could try Tim Ward, I know he's looking to sell his

When the mk1 went from auto to Manuel, I made one myself from hardboard covered with black vinyl cloth. I wouldn't claim it to be perfect but it's good enough for me.

Not a very exciting video, but it's the only one I took on my Go-Pro before chucking it in the boot and forgetting about it!

Leaving Knebworth on Friday evening. May be of interest to @yorkshire_spam as his car takes centre stage

 

The Team Spotlight cars show up nicely in front of Sam too 🙂

Hi Steve,  Darren had problems with his 123 dizzy,  Dale Barker finally got to the bottom of it,  there is a tiny resistor fitted in the rotor arm on the 123 and  these can break down causing poor spark and erratic ignition timing.  Sounds pretty much the same,  Olaf ran like a pig,  new rotor arm sorted 👍  

Thanks Wendy, worth remembering

Blue pill in the post.

Jim.

I think little blue pills are the last thing you want on the RBRR!

If you can get some 2XL then I'll swap a 3XL for one. I did speak to Tina yesterday but not sure what was agreed. If not I'll keep the 3XL and turn the temperature on the washing machine up!

Don't think so.

It was 2 hours in 2018.

Gives folk who have had trouble heading north the ability to catch up with the event, as I did in 2018.

Jim.

Sorry Jim, I just meant that we were queuing longer to get into the Seaview in 2021, I haven't compared the official timings.

You'll be fine John. your car looks lovely and you've obviously done a lot of prep work on it. You should be ok 3 up, I've only ever done it as a crew of 2 (4 times so far) and that is tough at times, but those who know say that a crew of 3 is much more relaxed!
