Well, Belha could drive it. No?

Yes, Plum could do the trip, but again, money is a problem. Plum is due an NCT [our version of the MOT] and to get that she would need a service, in particular replace some leaky seals at the front end. Other than that she is perfect.

However, she has no tax, and a year's tax on that size of an engine is €1347. So between the NCT and tax, she would cost the thick end of €2K to have road legal. And if I had that kind of cash to spare, I would sooner put it into Black Betty that I am keeping.

I'm hoping the problem with the gearbox on Black Betty is an easy fix, a problem with the wiring, rather than a worn or damaged box. But no way of knowing this till I get to run some tests on her, get some more information.

Bummer all right.
