Where is it? Not that it really matters I suppose, since it will need to be trailered away.
Lancashire might be a long shot though. What kind of consideration is wanted by the owner, for someone to take it away?

Ah yes, that would help!
Henlow. Just a little bit south of the infamous Lakes Volvo breaker.....

In what way do you mean "first of the proper injection" cars? I thought B18E was injected...
Or have I totally missed a bunch of carbs on my engine?

The close proximity to Lakes is quite concerning, it would be a shame if it was broken.
The rescue group would like to take it on, but have no space anywhere for it. Any volunteers to foster it ?

Ok, maybe I should have said “the “more easily obtainable spare parts” injection system…..

Provided it was a quick (1-2 week) turnaround, I might be able to do something for storage at my grandmother's field, but it will be outside and in Hampshire. I will chat with my father about it as my uncle is keeping a few boats there (you think 480s are big projects) so a wedge shouldn't be much of an issue, and it might be an excuse to get a car port in there which I can then use for more tat

Unfortunately we'd need rather a lot more than 1-2 weeks, but thank you for the thought.
Jeff is completely snowed under with work so even 1-2 months might not be long enough.

I could take it in, how much are they wanting for it?
It seems such a shame too as the arches are in better condition than mine !
