I get the idea there is about as much hope of the commer getting a new engine as my mini going on the ferry without a tow rope ?

D'you know Robbo, I'm beginning to think this is a possibility too. Can't put me finger on why though..

I love that picture of the old Triumph Mayflower on the Cresta picture. My old mom God bless her, used to love Mayflowers and it must be the only "Bloodyoldcar" that my dad DIDN'T bring home at one time or another, He was a sucker for any old Arthur Daley type with a tin of filler and four wheels to sell.

You may well be right guys, there's actually nothing wrong with the existing engine, it's just a bit underpowered.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

A super looking conversion. Must have taken ages, and some moonshine to do.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Now there's a piece of BL's finest, as is this:

Given my less-than-optimistic interpretation of the latest news from the Vatican, I reckon we'll soon be seeing quite a few of these buggies on the market.

A very worthy modern replacement and I would't look out of place, all dressed up in crazy clobber, sitting in the back of a funny car nodding my head to some imagined "way-out" beat.

Got to be worth a go surely - two stroke and supercharged?
