Thanks for the response,
Yes it is the burgundy car from e-bay I bought it with 3 minutes to go in the auction with out ever seeing it

must have been a moment of insanity. The lad selling it seems to have been less than honest in his description (he couldn`t even get the model name right) His claim that the only thing wrong with it was a couple of flat batts was far from the truth. two of the dumps are jammed open,to compensate he wound the slow down valve in so tight its split the valve. the batts are all dead, the prestolite blocks are burned out due to using it with low power, all the cylinders leak, even the top up plugs are missing from the oil tanks! but I still love it. looks great parked next to my `76 sedan deville.
It will all be sorted and back on the road by summer.
Oh, and I live in Middlesbrough so Darlo`s pretty close.
