That sounds interesting. It's an original wire wheel car. We've been
wanting a weekend in Santa Barbara, though I'm not sure this is what my
wife had in mind. :-)

I would not mind a good rear axle assembly and some doohickeys
here and there from the car to help with my project. Its not a
Spridget but it is now 1098cc Spridget powered.  Only gotcha is
my wife will get upset if it sits in the yard a year or 2 :) so
we would have to take it apart fairly quickly, like before the
next rain season.<br>

Second, I have no room for another Brit car, small or
otherwise. I have a two car garage that houses the Bugeye, a
Harley Davidson and a BN2 mid restoration. There is an MGB
GT and a Honda in the driveway. There just isn't room for
it. My homeowners association would put a lean on my house
if I parked it in the driveway. Lucky for me a friend has
offered a tired 1275 minus the head (I have two heads
rebuilt and ready to install). The only logistical problem
is I am in Southern California and he is in the Bakersfield
area (Tehachapi) which is a 4 -5 hour ride one way. I just
got out of the hospital for pneumonia and sepsis. Not quite
100% yet. I really am not ready for a road trip just yet.Â
If I could get someone to go with me and share the driving I
would go this week. Thanks much for the offer, but I can't
even retrieve a free motor just yet.</div>
