Hoping to pick up my new purchase tomorrow, if i can arrange a co driver. From my reasonably thorough inspection it does not look like it will need much beyond a deep cleaning (famous last words!) and a bit of a tune up. But i do like a sparkling engine compartment, so will be removing a lot of hardware and polishing/painting and fettling

That will probably reveal all sorts of hidden surprises.

Here is one I did earlier

Yes, i do like to play, that was around 450bhp :)
 
Drove the R4 home today, and quelle surprise it overheated. (I took bottles of water with me just in case) It has not been driven for many moons, part of a deceased estate, and the radiator header tank had corroded. I have removed it and will take it to the local specialist to see if it can be salvaged. It drove home ok after I refilled it, so will have to see if the head gasket et al are ok
