I had to get the cars out of the driveway this morning as I had finally sold my 2.6 Triumph engine on facebook market place and needed to bring out of the garage and up the driveway ready to load. I was quite glad it was going as I was getting tired of some of the dumb questions I had been asked. I.e. 'Is this a genuine Triumph engine, or did you make it yourself?'. I can do a lot of things in my garage, but casting brand new engine blocks isn't one of them! 😕
Anyway, the buyer arrived around 10.30 and I lifted the engine into the back of his Volkswagen Polo with my engine crane. (Which I had only folded down and put away in the shed the week before-Typical!) He was a nice guy and wanted the engine for his Triumph GT6. I gave him a few other Triumph bits that I had laying around and other than the Triumph Mk1 saloon I have in storage (which will be going up for sale very soon) I am more or less Triumph free now.
Once he had gone, I fired up the Green Cortina and took it for a test drive. I only went local as its just had an engine rebuild and I didn't want to be too far away if anything went wrong. Luckily , nothing did go wrong and I had no nasty oil leaks either, so it looks like the recent work was worth the effort.
Once back home I got the bucket and sponge out and gave it a good wash. It had got quite dusty and dirty from all that time sitting in the garage, so it was good to see it looking nice and clean again. Roll on Battlesbridge on Sunday! 😊
