The Colonel

[commerchris]

Just been out in The Colonel, first I ran out of fuel,then I had no hose for the can of fuel,a nice rac man stopped & asked if I was OK he gave me his empty water bottle after cutting the bottom off with his pen knife. got me to the garage I filled him up,I went to the recycling centre & came back,,got fuel vaporisation blocked the road,anyone want a serious restoration project I need something more useable I have a few health problems which is not helping so now's the time if you have always liked him,get in touch, best offer over £1800 he ain't for the faint hearted(would like to ensure he does not go to burger van world & the like. west norfolk near Downham Market

Shame you have to sell Chris, I hope it doesn't get turned into a burger van, it is the only one after all!

 

[Colin Stewart]

Good luck with the sale.

 

[commerchris]

Health is better for loosing 2 stone & giving up smoking,but I have a constant arm ache making the simplest of tasks painfull & frustrating at times.this started after a blood test & has not been right since.I have under active thyroid. Non alcoholic fatty liver causing great pain?& polyps in the gallbladder will find out in September if that needs to come out.I get serious bad back pain going to hospital appointment this month to rule out heart issues,I think it's all from previous injury but they know best.

 

[commerchris]

Thank you all if I don't sell I will wrap him up & put into storage for now.his mot is due mid September can not see any reason why he might fail.

Thanks Steve, funnily enough my right eye has been getting blurred occasionally too,I am waiting for a scan to see if polyps have grown. Will keep you posted ☺

 

[commerchris]

Bump!

 

[Colin Stewart]

Have you not sold the colonel yet? thought this would have sold in the firs week.

 

[commerchris]

No,no interest what so ever. I need an auto,crew cab,ex royal mail van with a high top in nice condition.

 

[Colin Stewart]

I thought the colonel was mint right up my street.

 

[commerchris]

He is fantastic,but I am biased he could be used as I use him,but he does need restoring ideally sooner rather than later...he only has one spare seat belt & a lap strap,I want to take my grandkids out, they need seat belts! I need an auto now....
