Will do, i wont be doing much miles, my gaffer had a restored 60 Traveller which he runs on valvemaster, ive driven it a few times, its very different to what i am used too, slow and sedate but thats what I am after!

Nah, speed isnt important. Ive got a New Golf TSI turbo for every day driving which is very nippy, so much so I just picked up 3 points! I rush around all the time being busy so taking things a bit slower wont be so bad.
As per blog she passed her MOT yesterday after we prodded the horn a few times with a blunt instrument and the bonnet catch needed tweaking (the bonnets steel and I think has a tendency to knock the catch out of alignment after a certain amount of slams!)
Emissions and brakes were all spot on, one CV boot is starting to deteriorate but is ok for now and one nsr tyre is getting low but its on its steelies for now so will have the alloys put back on again.

Lower the reserve. Its only worth what someone's willing to pay, but hopefully its what you're asking as increasing values can only be good for those who've got them for the long haul.

What a Moggie? When you could have a Peanut? Always thought A35 was better. Best Moggie made was the Wolseley 1500. Why would you buy the Minor when this is the same thing, at the same money, but better bits? Ah, unless you want the type with half a beach hut on the back. Very British.

The mystery deepens. I know a 2CVer in Wiltshire called Stephen! He hasn't mentioned winning a BX on Facebook though. Maybe his other half doesn't know yet... (if it's the chap I know, he already has one BX).
