At work on a sunny Saturday afternoon, what am I going to do? Give the 'D' a crank-up of course!

Undoubtably, 9 out of 10 enthusiasts would paint it, but in the words of the immortal UB40, I am the 1 in 10!

  • what spark plug do you use?

  • @hanomagman Currently using an old Champion 8com - not an easy plug to find these days, but worth getting hold of one if you can.

  • Hi,

    As you probably know, I'm building a trolley for my D at the moment with those wheels, How easy to move is yours? Some people have said to me that is won't be and will get bogged down on the rally feild.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    I've never tried it on muddy/soft ground, but I can drag it across compacted gravel fairly easily and can push it with 1 finger on concrete/tarmac!

  • If an engine still displayed the original transfers I would not restore it. My friends have a Lister D in the same condition with WAR FINSH stensiled on the side. Its a TVO conversion aswell and was nearly sold in Holland!!

  • Ive gone less than 30 miles away to get my engines.

  • One thing I have learnt in this hobby is that nothing is ever local, always 100 miles away!

    It's only local when a friend who lives localy gives you an engine, like what happened with my D!

  • I wouldnt bother, just wait till one was local.

  • Yes, Kings fold will be the furthest for me as well.

    I did go about 400 miles to pick up my wolseley though!

  • Brenzett or the Kent Show takes us an hour to get to em. Thats how far we userly go but Kingsfolds going to be a fevest so far.

  • I'd love to do two days though but sometimes the one is easy. If the show was within 20 miles I think I could do the two days, just come home again afterwards.

  • Oh, ok.
