    I’m going to the club dinner 9th March if anyone can get it there, I can then transport it 25 miles north of Birmingham for Sam, Darren can then take it to Lincolnshire which is much nearer
  2. Wendy Dawes
    Yea Amy that’s the plan, I’ll get the diff overhauled too, that should cover everything mechanically xx

    Going for a full top to bottom rebuild, head with hardened stem seals, rebore and crank grind, no points in messing around might as well go the whole hog 🐷 she is a pig lol

    So we suspect Mabel spun a big end a couple of weeks ago, so tomorrow begins the engine strip down ready for reconditioning . She will be transported to my stable yard on Sunday where there’s a bigger place to work on her and plenty of room to store all the bits we remove I’ll keep a picture diary of the process and keep the progress updated

    Hi Pete, CT pony express here lol if you buy the one from Fitchetts, I can go and collect it on Saturday to save you postage cost and Darren can take it home with him and arrange to get it to you or we can bring it to the annual club dinner, depends how soon you need it x

    DVLA no longer provide previous owner details due to data protection so hope your search is successful, may prove difficult, maybe worth asking on TSSC forum too

    I enjoyed the weekend, we just were unlucky in that our usual route on M42 was closed at junction 6 exit for a bridge demolition so we had to go further down the m6 onto the A46 and there was an accident with 2 Lorries and a car just before the Stoneleigh turn off causing a 10 mile tailback on the Saturday, just purely bad luck

    Had a good weekend though as the M42 was closed and a major accident on the A46 which was the alternative route- it took 3 hours for us to arrive on the Saturday in Marmite,it should have been just 50 mins 🙄 there aren’t usually many if any cars for sale at Stoneleigh it’s basically an indoor auto jumble. The NEC in March and November has cars for sale but can be quite pricey there, keep looking Gary 😊

    I agree, one of the best events in the calendar ♥️

    Thanks Bruce will be stripping the engine down in a couple of weeks time , getting Mike Papworth to overhaul the diff as well, and fitting new front trunnions. hopefully that’s all the drivetrain sorted 🙄
  14. Wendy Dawes
    I had to think long and hard but one more is the last spend on her
  15. Wendy Dawes
    Yes he was fine, he’s a good friend of Darren’s even offered to help with the engine bless him
  16. Wendy Dawes
    After much deliberation I’ve decided to give Mabel one more stay of execution, I’ve decided to get her engine rebuilt over the spring/summer, she’d better behave after this biggie
  17. Wendy Dawes
    Herald 1200 parts going to Stoneleigh over riders, drive shafts with completely new brakes, cylinders and adjusters, will need new UJ’s. trunnion bush kits, brake pads type 12. Webasto roof,

    You could contact Mike Papworth, he’s near Coventry his number is 07768775170 or he will be at Stoneleigh this coming weekend
  19. Wendy Dawes
    May be lucky and get some parts at Stoneleigh next weekend

    I can afford to have Mabel’s engine reconditioned, I’m just not prepared to spend any more money on her, I’ve spent more than I ever wanted to already, sorry to see her go but sometimes you have to call it a day
  21. Wendy Dawes
    She has been bought by a club member who will sort her out. Happy that someone will take her on further than I was prepared to. she wil still he seen out and about in the future
  22. Wendy Dawes
    Thanks but no thanks Amy lol 😂
  23. Wendy Dawes
    Mabel is now sold 😊
  24. Wendy Dawes
    I’m in talks with Darren about it, but I do know the car and I do know that there’ll be yet another issue, probably the diff , if I change the engine and gearbox, there’s only the diff left to blow lol
  25. Wendy Dawes
    Turner or hooch lol
