Sadly I've had to make the decision to permanently retire 105 from my collection. She's been out of use for almost two years now due to various mechanical issues, and despite the best efforts of myself and expert friends she still won't run, so after myself and Tom worked on her late into the night yesterday (and in pouring rain) we finally had to give up.
She would need at least either a complete engine strip down and rebuild, or a new engine, neither of which I have the budget for. I am also mindful of the fact she has a crack in the rear axle, which I've been keeping in check since I've owned her.
RIP :-(
Seen here in happier times, possibly the last time I photographed her running.
