My workhorse died a few years ago.. in very inconvenient circumstances seeing as it wasn't taxed.. note Higsons beer mat for tax disk 
but.. I managed to sell it to a bloke in the pub just down the road for £100.. gave him the tatty papers and the screwdriver ignition key and went in the other direction avoiding the traffic warden and police who had just turned up.. hope he had fun moving it.. stuck in gear. Valve through piston best guess.. just pulling away from lights.. (bloody huge bang.. masses of black smoke.. opened bonnet to find hole in side of block with broken end of connecting rod sticking through devoid of piston. Typical it happens in London..
