Father, son and a V8

[LincolnLovin]

I've come to a decision, I am selling the car - with it being in the best shape of its life its time to move on

I've set the price to be reflective of the work gone into it, the unique nature of the upgrades, lets see if I get any bites.

[LincolnLovin]

So far no bites, so the Town Car is still with us. It’s replacement is already on its way (westfalia nugget campervan), as I said I’m not in a rush to sell but selling it is likely the right call.

Or maybe a full electric conversion.

[LincolnLovin]

It certainly has boot space for batteries. I do wonder how classic cars (and their sub standard impact protection) would provide adequate support for a battery pack in the advent of a crash.

[LincolnLovin]

MOT day tomorrow, will be the first time I've looked at the car in a year.

[LincolnLovin]

It would be sub optimal thats for sure.

[LincolnLovin]

Had to reschedule the MOT to today, car insurance has just been done (£140 for the year) - just need to get VED sorted and then I'll head to the mot place later on.

I think it will probably need some fresh fuel as well.

[LincolnLovin]

Here we go, gave it £15 of v power to help spice up the existing fuel. Drove pretty well, needs a clean though.

[LincolnLovin]

And another years ticket, no advisories (again)

Well done!

Surely you can't sell it and let someone else enjoy your hard work and expense. At least use it a bit.

I'm currently pottering about in a V8 Range Rover (P38) that I rescued from abandonment and although it only does 12 MPG you can't beat the feeling.

Isn’t that what every classic project is about? Spending lots to save the next owner the cost?

[LincolnLovin]

I need to downsize the fleet as I can't afford two cars in storage (the camper van is the priority sadly), so this is listing on eBay in 30 mins. I looked at the mileage between MOTs and it doesnt make sense to keep spending £££ on dry store for it to never get used.

Thanks all far the highest bidder is a zero feedback one, hopefully a genuine buyer appears.
