Barn Finds - Many Items Now Sold


Rory's Dad

Recommended Posts

About a week ago I was asked to journey deep into West Yorkshire and to see if club wanted the following bits and pieces. They were (most of) what was left after a former member built a Westy in his father in law's barn. The car itself has gone, the son-in-law has divorced the farmer's daughter (or the other way around) and the farmer wants the back bit of his barn back. That sounds like a sad story but it isn't really. The farmer is a lovely bloke and just wants this stuff to go to a decent home and not into a skip. His ex son-in law, who now lives at the opposite end of the country, is absolutely happy with this course of action too.

Did I get it for nothing? No, I agreed to make a decent contribution to an agriculturally based charity at the farmer's request. and any profit that's made will go in the Yorkshire WSCC Club fund.

I have already offered this stuff to Yorkshire members - they've had their pick and so I'm now offering what's left to the club as a whole.

for packing your sprint fuel tank

All prices exclude post and packing. To make it easy for me I would really prefer you to pick up from here in Harrogate or at the Fox and Grapes at our October meeting. If you can't do that, please organise the WSCC or a commercial courier service to pick it up or, as a last resort, I could pack the stuff up and post it for which you will have to pay at cost.

I'm not going to split any of these lots, or negotiate on price. This is not my stuff so no guarantees about anything, there will be no returns - the risks are all yours. First come first served.

You'll probably want a photograph or two or have some questions. Please PM your email address and I'll see what I can do. After a few days I'll put what's left on Ebay. Payment by cash, cheque or directly into my bank account. I don't do PayPal and dare not ask my wife - i'm sure you'll understand.

The springs have an ID of 50mm - I think they are 'standard' but have no idea of their ratings.
