We took \nthe van and transported down to Kendal to collect it, suffered a flat \ntyre on the trailer but eventually got going..\n Strangely his house can be seen in the foto from the Last sierra I \nbought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car was covered in Tat chrome, I removed it \nthat day and also binned the seat covers.&nbsp; The hood supposedly leaked, \nbut actually once adjusted the real fault was found to be the windows \nnot closing.&nbsp; Faulty mechanisms were diagnosed\n and replacements ordered. The mirrors wobbled like crazy, the metal \ncastings were found to be broken and electric replacements orderd, the \nwiring is already there so it will be an easy job once they have been \nsprayed to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking the hood was shot, I also bought a decent full Mohair hood. It\u2019s not been used yet.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also ned to find the ends to the pipes for the Hydraulic roof..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And try and get the interior to match as it\u2019s a BITSA\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s got a fresh MOT and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
