He's not allowed. Never forget:

Ah yes. I wonder if anyone here actually bought PRF Jeremy Clarkson's van.

I was wondering if anybody was going to call me out for being a polluter. It uses leaded fuel!

Here's the original Lycoming 4 cyl:


Those four little cups on top are for priming the cylinders with fuel if it hasn't been started in a while. PO added a fuel pump though, so that should help. He also had the radiator completely rebuilt. Just needs to be be painted again.

The dolly under the tire was the only way we could push it into the driveway. The tire had flattened during the ride from AZ and the rim pinched the tube. New tire and tube on the way.

I did put the steering wheel back on it yesterday. Windshield will be going back on next. I need to charge the 6V battery also. Once that tire is on there, I can push it out into the driveway and try to start it.

I would think with all the money he made hosting Top Gear that he would be set for life.

Sorry, I could not resist.

Just scored a Danelectro Convertible from the 90s - one of the blue sparkle ones. Hell yes.
