i've spoken to alan via txt message, he's got it and on route home with it, it should be back in the uk monday, he tells me its in a hell of a state with most of 1 of the front wings and A post missing!!! this is from an accident that was never repaired and left to rot, he said its a BIG BIG restoration only for the brave so sounds a promising challange if i'm honest straight forward resto's bore me so i look forward to the challange, my aim is to collect either next sat/sun, i've had a qoute to sand blast the whole thing approx £300 which i felt was a bargain so this will be my 1st step with it so i can see whats actually left of it,i've also bought an s2 appia as a doner car for all the parts i need as the pickup is a bare shell with three and a half wings and spare wheel compartment lid, apparently the s2 is "in a hell of a state" also so is ideal to donate all its parts (i'd never scrap a good 1!!) hopefully collecting the s2 tomorrow but wont know until this evening, this meens another "EPIC ADVENTURE OF CHUGGA AND WARBY" so pictures will follow as soon as i have some.....................we promise to AMUSE |

I saw a picture of your next project at the Surrey meeting on Thursday evening on Will's phone whilst a blizzard raged outside, looks like you will be busy! But not a problem for you of course, I look forward to seeing how you get on with this enterprise. |

I was at Exeter for four years so familiar - and very lovely - territory. The weather here is perfect for raiders. Keep taking photos!!
