Dear All,

Firstly, apologies for cross-posting to five mailing lists, but I wanted 
to reach everyone who might be interested.   I don't know whether this 
is going to work, but I thought it worth a try:

As some of you know, Carly failed her MOT a few weeks ago, and I have 
been agonising about what to do.   She needs a small number of trivial 
repairs, and an unknown amount of structural welding around the O/S/R 
tie-bar.   Mechanically and electrically she is in excellent condition, 
but the body work is tired, with some filler already in place, and some 
rust bubbling through.   Her TSSC Valuation earlier this year was 
GBP4000.   I have decided that I am not really the right owner for her, 
and that she needs someone who is capable of, and willing to do, a full 
body-off restoration.   If I sell her on the open market as an MOT 
failure, she is likely to go for a song, and be broken for scrap, which 
I would greatly regret.

All that being the case, is anyone interested in a part-exchange or swap 
for Carly?   I would be happy to consider any sort of Triumph - except, 
(sorry), no Acclaims - with decent bodywork and solid chassis, and would 
be willing to bring a wodge of cash to the party for the right 
part-exchange.   (In particular, I've been looking for an early 2.5PI 
Estate for ages...)   Trade welcome.

Carly is currently in Bedford, (that's about fifty miles due north of 
London), so this is probably only going to be relevant to listers in 
England.

See: http://www.hargreave-mawson.demon.co.uk/Spit.html for pictures, and 
more information about her past history, distant and recent.

Contact me on <OC@46thFoot.com> for further details (e.g., copy of full 
MOT failure sheet) and/or to offer swap or part-ex cars.
