It's gone to a good home. Chater-Lea is a surname which probably means something to some of you. He's already been in contact with the Spares Secretary. He's planning a total restoration.
You should see his MG. This will give you some idea what he is going to do the 18/85.
I hate to see it go, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side for Italy. I have twins hanging out of the windows telling me when I can overtake. If they did this any longer, one of them is going to get brained.
Given the way Italians drive, I'm not (as I previously suggested) going to go for a LHD 1800. I'm going to go for a modern car, at least until I am used to Italian driving.
Look on the bright side. This crab is going to get totally restored.
I really want to see a Crab in Italy.

Oh, the restoration includes the BW35. He has the manual. It's a pretty unique implementation of the BW35.
Happy motoring! I'm going really to miss the Crab!

Hey mate, Sorry to hear you had to let the 'crab go, but sounds like she's gone to a loving home! The only images of driving in Italy I have are from the Italian Job.......so time for a mini? -Andrew

Good luck with whatever you do next. That one with the damaged windscreen is still up for grabs in Italy, BTW.
Chater-Lea - motorbikes? Beyond that I'm lost...

Good luck with the Italian adventure. A Landcrab out there would be a real headturner no doubt. If I were living there I would be off searching for a twin cam Fiat 131 or 132 to scratch a long time itch of mine which is just about impossible to do here in the UK.
