Today I collected another March ST. Some know that I was due to get it, but I didnt make anything of it incase for what ever reason it never actually happened. Anyway it did, and I am now the owner of another white March ST.
Todays diary lol
Dave S arrived at mine at 7.15 am, after a quick bit of breakfast we headed off to Maidstone in kent to pick up a hire 4x4 and trailer. We arrived at the hire place around 8.30, filled in a ton of paperwork, and finally got the keys after a bit of messing about the hire company found the right numberplates for the trailer and we headed off about 9.30am towards Northampton.
Dave driving the 4x4. (I'm not over 25 which is required for insurance).
We arrived near Northampton at around 11.30 where we stopped off for some lunch. Check out the size of the trailer I hired. It was totally MASSIVE. Infact we pulled up against a double decker bus and we were longer than it was!!
Massive trailer! This was great fun down some narrow roads
Anyway we finally arrived at the destination around 1.15 where we met Jonny the previous owner of the ST. After a quick inspection a bit of chatting money changed hands and the car was loaded back onto the trailer.
Finally we were back at my place around half 4 giving us an hour to unload and get the trailer and 4x4 back to the hire place. We achieved this with just 10 mins to spare. In total in the 4x4 we covered 270 miles and in total total 350 odd - and for dave probably more near 400!! So a very long day!
Anyway more on the car,
The picures are not very clear, but the car is in a pretty poor condition on the outside. There are a few rust holes in the body work in very strange places (boot lid for one) and several rust patches on the car. It basically looks like somone sanded the paint work with the intention to do some work on it, but never did so it went rusty. The engine is in one piece, but the pipework is in bits. The interiour looks very nice, but has mould on the roof and glass. Tomorrow I intend to clean up the inside and do a full body inspection on the outside. Until all this is complete I dont know what I will be doing with it just yet but I am NOT planning to break it for parts - so please dont ask, If I for some reason change my mind I shall post here first.
Anyway thats all for now, just want to say thanks to Dave S for helping me out today, Cheers mate! and I will post more here when I know it.
