"Sweetpea" joins the clan.

Today 8/11/14, Sweetpea officially left our ownership and is now owned by a young Landy fan from down Sydney way, and Sweet Pea will be making the trip down south via truck on Tuesday.
A day of mixed emotions here at the moment, sad to see her go but on the other hand she was a great hobby to have, and let's face it, we all need a hobby.
Perhaps it is just me but the challenge of rejuvenating her, chasing and manufacturing parts etc., was far more interesting than the actual ownership, as I found that once she was done she simply sat around and did very little.
The new owner is very enthusiastic about the fact that she is original with matching numbers etc and I dare say in the fairly near future she may well be sighted once a week or so at the beach or perhaps on a once weekly commute to work somewhere in the Sydney metro area. At least that is the plans as I have heard them.
Her space in the shed looks like being taken by a P5 coupe - something in which Patsy and I can travel interstate in, in some degree of comfort!...........although there is a reasonable possibility that there could be another early 80" lurking shyly in the wings.
Remains to be seen.
My signature below is starting to look a little thin. Wonder how long Daisy will stay!
Regards
Glen

Glen, you and Patsy should keep Daisy as she has a roof and full windscreen,
MMM I would love to help you out with whatever you have left... Oh thats Onslow

Seriously though you did a great job with Sweetpea, anyone would be proud to own her. Im sure this new chapter in her life will be eventful!

Interested to hear that dear old "SweetPea" has changed hands once again. I hope the new owners get as much enjoyment out of owning her as Patsy & I got out of her resurrection.
