I mentioned earlier about anew addition to the Bentley family and here it is.
We are now the very proud owners of a 1959 Renault D22
Ok OK It might need a little tlc and a respray etc (its original colour would have been orange and we will probably return it to its former glory) however as this thread shows we have a tendency to buy old relics and breath new life into them.
On the now named "Harry Chuffer" the hydraulics work, the pto works, it sparks up first time and it is a 3 cylinder Deutz (I think) air cooled diesel so pretty much indestructible.
I think you can tell by my smile that I am already besotted and even though she is very slightly reluctant to admit it, so is MrsB

Insulation and intuition
ReplyDeleteOur tale winds slowly 'twards the end
But not before a journey of Chaucer-esque design
A simple voyage of insulation to ship, to shape, to bend
After a devious route of ferries, tacking thrice, 'cross the brine
Much travelling; first west, now east, finally south
The effervescent Mr B should have gone to Spec Savers or rented 'lectric
But a man with a van and a winning smile pumped her out
And he sailed onwards; man on a mission most hectic.
With memories of winter sun and another journey fading
Accompanied by the ever-fragrant Mrs B.
A new restoration on the horizon; sky-blue and flaking
The '59 D22, Monsieur Harry Chuffer to you and me.
So our meandering circumnavigation is now complete
A home is born, beguiling, be-roofed, replete.
looks cool is this to just go to the shops and back or you going to do some farming ?
