Hope you're still ok Iain! Whiplash can take a few days to develop.
I had a big crash at the weekend (not in ther Minor) and am a bit stiff and bruised - although not nearly as bad as my passenger!
As a result I am unlikely to get the pick up MOT's for the national - front suspension is nearly finished but it needs a lot of welding.

Nooooo!!!!!IaininTenbury wrote:I'll be there with the stall, but the van is looking unlikely after last night...
Think it'll live again, but probably not in time for the national
BPA 165B (aka 'the Shed') was my first car - very sad to see what's happened & hope you're ok Iain! Been meaning to track you down for a while now to ask how it was, & someone on another forum that I post on regularly is rebuilding a van & to cut a long story short, this came up in the conversation.
Both myself & the previous owner (friend of the family) miss this car - hope you'll be rebuilding it! Here's some of the very few pictures that I have:
I'm sure that you will recognise the venue

Aha - I recognise the van in that '2-tone' colour scheme

Hi Paul,
Nice to hear from you again. Sorry about the van, but it will be rebuilt! It got named 'Gaffa' soon after we bought it due to the temporary repairs onthe van body, and the name stuck even after the gaffa tape was replaced with metal... We did the JOGLE run in 2004 in Gaffa when I proposed to Rebecca at John O'Groats. We then used Gaffa as honeymoon transport in 2006 doing a tour of the Outer Hebrides before going on to John O'Groats again and doing the JOGLE Run. Seemed appropriate really....
I sort of continued doing the rolling resto theme which is why more colours of primer appeared as time went by and it only got the shiny top coat last November, the week before it went on the club stand at the NEC (probably the car with the freshest paint at the show!) so was doubly miffed about the accident. Even more so that I hadn't upped the insurance value after the paint job and the new bits went on... It even broke the dynamo that I fitted 4 days before the accident
Anyway, I've had lots of support from folk in the club and have now got nearly all the bits I need. Found a bonnet and bumper at the National Rally, and now the insurance assesor has seen it I can get stuck in with the repairs. It has been declared a write off, but I insisted on keeping it, so I'll find out what they'll pay out in due course.
Happier days:
Even happier ones:
Wedding and honeymoon trip round the Hebrides and John O'Groats:
Btw sorry for hijacking this thread, but its a bit late now for whos going to the national anyway...

Nice to see the Avoncroft pictures, oddly I didn't get any at the time which showed the van I bought later! Was a good weekend that one.
cheers
