[quote="Christopher Carnley"]Hi Martin, I have been too busy fretting over a lump of Derby Bentley "scrap" owned previously by P.E. and marketed by "Mulliner", not to mention ,of course, a fruitless month long wait for parts from R888888s. These people seem by holding customers to ransom. Ricky from Mallorca is sending a knackered Derby axle via Leicester, Vintage and Classic sent a MK VI diff to day. Jeez. Ed Mowbray lent his Silver Ghost to the producers of The Great Gatsby, on the condition that he drove the car during filming. What effect can that have on miserable days in S75 3RT? This is the Ricky car. [img]http://www.bdcl.org/forum/userpix/777_B4CW_BLU134_1.jpg[/img][/quote]
