I am sorry to say that I currently own BGO 827X...!

I say sorry, because it became a donor car for my 5T returned to England from Ireland, and it helped many others. It now stands as a shell, pretty much. But it was not the better car of the two by some way.

Unfortunately, my skills were not enough to put it right, and it did have serious corrosion problems. However, despite the many internet recommendations, ultimately there were only a few places that seemed able to restore a 5T, and they were just not interested (maybe it's me!). Anyhoose, the car kept a few others on the road, and is now only sorned because I have not got around to scrapping it. And the bulkhead, bonnet, and glass look useful in case I ever have a crunsh, so I keep it about.

I apologise that the news on BGO 827X is not better.
