i like all old British cars 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

The Sheerline is so underrated. Definitely a worthwhile project. I completely get your passion for it given you've reconnected with a car from your past. Go for it. Looking forward to the results.

Well done, Chris!

"Beyond Patina" Good Luck Chris.

Good luck and congratulations on taking on such a big project! I absolutely understand the appeal. This will be a great car! Always loved them, though they’re known for overheating in warmer climates. Cheers

Don’t strip the diff most had that problem which was due to hardening problems in manufacture. The ambulance fleet at Norwich had these chassis and many of them had this problem. My Father owned a saloon which gave us wonderful transport. It towed a caravan on holiday for several years and towed it from rest up a 1:5 hill and was in top by the time we reached the crest. The car weighed 2 1/4 tons and the caravan a ton. The engine was used by British Road Services on their big parcel vans and your chances of of it blowing up are limited. The pistons had a bowl head and the version used by Jensen in their 541R had increased compression by converting them to flat top. The Stromberg carburettor was extremely complicated for its day. The Smiths Jackall system had a tendency to crack on the pump casting. It was a wonderful car to ride in and I recall Father holding it in a skid on a slippery Norfolk road which was impressive. In its day it was listed as a Heavy Motor Car and you required a special license to drive it as it was over two tons. This form of restriction was later removed from heavy cars but my original licence entitled me to drive it. It was great fun!

A lot of work ahead, but a nice old car once done. On the plus side, its in better nick than the Titanic! 😂😂

A beautiful car!

You MUST restore it properly forget what the others say. My dad had one in the 70s. He paid a 10a for it and was it great condition. Absolutely wonderful cars. More expensive now lol .

Sounds like you got a lot of get up and go. You committed now buying expensive parts. Hope it all works out. Looking forward to seeing body come off. Have a good week. 👍👍

The boot floor to inner wheel arch connection (or lack thereof) looks to be the same as with the Saxo track car that Kitch purchased recently. 🤔

PS my dad's was the LWB with division

Impressive

That digital clock thing should be there? Lol The beeping I reckon is an overdrive someone has fitted perhaps

12:05 🤣

Can’t you send carb off to a rebuild company. The revamp it to original. Don’t look like much to it. Check manifold has no cracks in it and have surface planed. Maybe find a overdrive unit for gearing. Talk to axle rebuild shop. See what they advise. I had a Dodge D200 truck that was high geared. Bigger rear tyres help. Maybe two speed axle. Got to get on the Dog and Bone

Its not leaking, it's self lubricating . . .
