Well actually, Roger was, as it was his story I was posting, but point taken & I did think that at the time I was reading & posting it. You'll have to forgive Roger, after all, he is probably kicking back with another flagon of Sangria on his terrace, thinking about what to do next to the old girl (Revenge!!).
Anyway, he's sent me another update....
"Memory glitch; the rear axle ratio may have been 4.56 or 5.12 I just can’t remember now. Also good to see NB`s comments and the fact that neither he nor Ed can get Holleys sorted! The only trouble I ever had was when Freedom was blown and in very cold weather the carbs would ice up also the front of the carb plenum. I would then switch off wait ten mins for the engine heat to warm through and all was ok.
I did have a problem with a Mallory dual point when one set of points stopped working and the timing retarded, a lot. I was coming back from another Guildford cruise and it was very late and dark in the country lanes. The road and trees etc were lit up by the glow of the headers and our elbows were hot. Got home ok tho."

He's come out of his coma now to tell me that, yes it was Biffo & not Steve Dennish. Well, he says it's the sun, but we all know the truth don't we, that damn Sangria!!!

Look and weep !
picked up Freedoms body tub today the good news is the dash was still in and compete, the top half of the windscreen was still there with stays and even the front mudguards were to be found,
the pics tell the sad news that the rest is sat in the open and going home fastthe owner is a very nice chap but it seams history means nothing.
Makes you want to weep doesn't it, how can people just let things go so badly?
Sorting around my bodyi've found the old scissor lock out gear change and the clear handbrake? kn0b with "mr b's T" inlaid, this will find a home on my current T

please note !! the first pic of freedom in this thread was taken by me just after i`d finished restoring this car ! i used it for a few years and then sold it !! i can`t believe it has been left to decompose like this in such a short time never ever ever should have sold it what a waste of the years it look to get it sorted !! yet another piece of history gone
Not gone... being rebuiltjust got a 350 sbc for her and parts being made,
anything i can do to help let me know !! and please fire me off some pictures of the build when you get time !! wulfyapp@yahoo.co.uk
Oh my god, another piece of history hits the wall, crying shame.

Right, are you sitting down Barry? Get a cup of tea or maybe something stronger, coz you're gonna need it!
It's been broken up, the body has gone to a guy nr Guildford, not sure what's happened to the rest of it but no doubt some one will let us know.
Just been speaking to Steve Bird, who says "hello you old f**t"!!
