    I have to wonder how much the original owner could have paid to keep the "salvage". We did that once and it was a good deal. Anyway, it's great to see someone get a sweet deal. Happy New Year indeed.

    Wonderful. Since you said the AC works, that means the engine runs! Congratulations. For any nonbelievers in an open car with AC, I can say it can work. I once drove an Aurora in Texas heat and with an upright windshield (like a 7), the AC could be felt. All about the vents and blower I guess. Maybe I'll go soft with the Birkin.

    Wonderful story. Hope the restoration goes as smoothly as possible.

    Re: No Reserve: 1991 Rotus Super 7 for sale on BaT Auctions - ending December 15 (Lot #61,588) | Bring a Trailer If they don't start bidding soon, someone is going to get a heck of a deal. Apparently folks don't care for rotaries much. Perfect power to light weight on that engine for a Seven, but some people can't get with the sound? At this rate, it's still cheap enough to make an engine swap feasible.

    We can all be glad you were not worse off. Looks like the cage did its job. Get well over a slow season.

    Great garage.

    Congratulations on the new toy. Depending how much driving you do, octane booster may be cheaper that messing with the engine. I ran booster for a few years on an old L89 (435 hp) Vette and never had any trouble.

    Thanks for posting, Doctor. We always enjoy the photos and 120k is a nice accomplishment.

    You can search for Speedometer Correction Box. Here's one example: https://speedometercablesusa.com/gear_box_adapters.html Back in the day, these things were used a lot for calibrating odos for rally. Don't remember the brand we used. Pretty crucial if the navigator gets "lost" in a stage.

    Just remember, the answer is always MIATA! Search for Spec Miata Seats and you will faind a bunch from many suppliers, reasonably priced. As little as 15" wide?

    Best of luck for a great Sunday morning drive. I just love some of the details, from the little fan blades to the sparking plug boots, and that nice battery cage. Sweet job.

    Last registered in 1977. Well before any of the replica / air cars became a thing. Major job though. Numbers? Title? A lot left unsaid. What say the experts?

    Great stuff. Keep it coming.

    About the dry sump. With both dry sumps cars I have had (Birkin & Porsche) you check the level with the warm engine at idle, circulating oil. Someone more knowledgeable about a Vauxhall may know differently. Welcome to the mad house.

    "Amazing how drastically small 7s look against other traffic " Wow. A place with more automobiles than trucks! Thanks for the ray of hope.

    Thank you for those kind words. I have as many grey hairs as anyone, unless you deduct for the hairs that are no longer there. I just want younger folks in the activities I like, to ensure they continue. Can I get an Amen?

    Great to see a young person with so much wisdom. The photo file from last weekend shows so much grey. Glad to see you're enjoying life properly.
