SOLD - SUBJECT TO BALANCE BEING PAID
It is with a heavy heart that I find that my beloved LB STR must go up for sale. Two daughters living in Australia and future visits to fund brings me to this sad place. Kids!
It's been a blast building and driving him and I know I'm very fortunate in having this opportunity in my life.
Advert placed this morning on Car and Classic with a genuine tear in my eye.......

Oh blimey Ade!
I can well believe the tear in the eye.
There was more to the wheel cleaning exercise than we thought.
Good luck, I'm sure someone will think themselves very lucky to get hold of such a great example built with obvious love.
Thanks for the kind words John. Yes, not an easy choice at all, but family 1st as one of my friends said......Quote:

Sorry to hear about your decision, you are probably right ... Having only been offered ?5 for both my children, I have decided for the time being to keep them, like you say, family bloody well first.
Cheers Ade.
Very funny Tim and thanks for your kind offer mate. I'll come and join you as co driver on your next trip to the Alps!Quote:

Phil you are not helping matters mate. Of course I'd love to keep my "forever" car, but reality was brought home strongly the day before the deposit was paid with this message from my youngest daughter in Australia, which is fantastic news for all of the family. I did ask her if it was triplets, but apparently not!

BTW the new owner is a new Club member, but I'll leave it for him to introduce himself if he so wishes?
Cest la vie
Ade... congratulations on becoming a Grandad !!!!
Hopefully we can catch up on some of the Northern Tours
Cheers
Phil
Ade well done on selling your very well built car
I feel the pain.
but your gonna be busy flying around the world soon
So let’s hope all goes well and that
might even get up there to do one of them northern runs myself one day
so hopefully catch up soon
Dave
Thanks Phil and Dave. I've got everything crossed as Emmy is only 14 weeks and still a long way to go. This comes after 4 successive miscarriages and a lot of heartache so when he arrives he will be a much loved child. Australia is such a long way away especially when your child is going through such anguish. So having the ability to visit more regularly will be much appreciated and worth the sacrifice. I'am very lucky to have had the opportunity of building, owning and enjoying such a wonderful homage to my favourite car of all time.
Yes guys I'm keeping my membership going so we'll definitely catch up somewhere down the line. The new owner has kindly offered me visitation rights and plans to attend some Club events if he can, so you never know......
Cheers!
Ade
Good news Ade. But I still think you should’ve just moved to Australia and taken the car too!
Ha,ha Paul! That would have been good, but I don't think that plan would "fly" with Mrs P and still have another daughter in UK.
Best wishes and still hope to visit you in NZ at some point in the future.
Cheers!
