So two hours later.
Via this view......
I was invited warmly into a house, brew, biscuits (cookies) got to meet dad and an hours worth of chatting, sharing stories, interests and generally putting the world to rights.
We went out to see this......
Yes, this was the last time Dad had taxed it, after which a large Jaguar replaced it as daily, and this one was garaged.
Go do the maths.
1977 Cadillac Seville
I saw this advertised months ago.
It has bothered me, despite knowing that I have so much other stuff to do at home.
So I needed to scratch the itch and go take a look.
Rear view mirror with temperature gauge
Battery long since dead, which is partly why I brought along the jump leads, rather than using them on myself.
Hazard lights on.
Love this rear end, lights on as well.
Lunch offered, then a guided tour of his machine shop, I loved these anvils, there is a forge and full size anvil as well.
Loved it.
Parm also gave me a brand new, unused Farriers rasp.
He makes large Bowie style knives from them.
Eventually left at 13.30 and headed home, two hours on the road via the M25
After a long discussion with @PaulY he recommended that I pass on this car, as tempting it is because the C10 needs to to get back on the road.
A great day out.
