He was after all the only person from ddk that I had any contact with and I stress contact with that was living in the real world. He has had to dig hard to buy the car and I am sure he will do a good job of the restoration it is good to see it go to someone who will undertake the work himself rather than be a cheque book restorer.
Also some members need to get a grip on reality and should perhaps re-read what they have posted not about me but in general and remember that for some people it is just a hobby and not an obsession. It is supose to be fun. To all those genuine restorers with a genuine love of their cars keep it going it is you who are the real caretakers of our heritage for the others see the doctor Im sure you can get some tablets to stop your p**s boiling.

Signing off for a final time

It's amazing what is just under the surface ready to come out once cash is in hand.

For someone who did not know what he had until some 'enthusiastic restorers' informed him I would have thought thanks rather than abuse was in order......................or perhaps a £1k donation from the sale (as it was achieved through DDK) to our charity. Only fair as he was happy to sell for £3k in the first instance.
