I wonder if they have V5c?

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!


"Barn find" is an overworked term, but these are the real thing!

Why do I never find these? Grrrr!!!

Location: Herefordshire, with an "E", not a "T".

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

lovely!

another 100 years, and all ours will probably be like that again... keeps everyone busy

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

When I see things like that I can't help but think of Woody Allen in " Sleeper " finding the 100 year old VW Beetle which, of course, started perfectly…

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

hi nick,

is your management connected to the larger corperation by any chance.

as i was told something similar by the management here. that something has to go first. (probabley me).

mind you it would be nice to get hold of the RK, just to make sure it doesnt end up as another ulster.

Yup, I reckon instructions have come from higher up - I've received the same message!

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

I,m not telling the Mrs, she would want me to get another, especially if she saw the boat tail.
She's a good in. Or, She knows that I would be in the garage so that she can watch whatever she wants on the box

What a fab RL. Hope the bonnet is all there. They are unique to the RL. 3/4 inch longer than later box saloons.

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

The RL is in much better nick than mine was, it would be criminal if it was broken up to make an Ulsteroid.
Is the RL chassis number provided in the Auction Catalogue?

Given that it's a 'significant' birthday for you today, perhaps you could take it on as a Birthday present to yourself

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

Every day is like a birthday to me! It was pointed out to me yesterday that I might expect some hair loss at my age.
I think a Donald Trump style toupee might be a more appropriate present to myself?
Thank you for your good wishes.

Re: Richard Edmonds barn finds - including a Boat Tail!

Congrats, Malcolm. Hope your hair stays affixed for awhile - one way or another. The only thing tall about me now is my forehead, but it doesn't worry me. I know a fellow who claimed that for every inch of hair he lost at the front, he would grow an extra inch at the back - to which a friend quickly said "well, you'll soon end up with a hairy bum" !
