 I am in no need of another car either...but perhaps we could do some
creative financing for that '62 and take it apart here at my place in
Santa Barbara.   I would not mind a good rear axle assembly and some
doohickeys here and there from the car to help with my project. Its not
a Spridget but it is now 1098cc Spridget powered.  Only gotcha is my
wife will get upset if it sits in the yard a year or 2 :) so we would
have to take it apart fairly quickly, like before the next rain season.
 Bonus points if the rear is a original wire wheel rear and not a rear
with wire adapters.

Second, I have no room for another Brit car, small or
otherwise. I have a two car garage that houses the Bugeye, a
Harley Davidson and a BN2 mid restoration. There is an MGB GT
and a Honda in the driveway. There just isn't room for it. My
homeowners association would put a lean on my house if I
parked it in the driveway. Lucky for me a friend has offered
a tired 1275 minus the head (I have two heads rebuilt and
ready to install). The only logistical problem is I am in
Southern California and he is in the Bakersfield area
(Tehachapi) which is a 4 -5 hour ride one way. I just got out
of the hospital for pneumonia and sepsis. Not quite 100% yet.
I really am not ready for a road trip just yet. If I could
get someone to go with me and share the driving I would go
this week. Thanks much for the offer, but I can't even
retrieve a free motor just yet.</div>
