[Spridgets] 1275 core needed

[Michael MacLean]

David,
      First of all, where are you located?  Second, I have no room for
another Brit car, small or otherwise. I have a two car garage that houses
the Bugeye, a Harley Davidson and a BN2 mid restoration.  There is an MGB
GT and a Honda in the driveway.  There just isn't room for it. My
homeowners association would put a lean on my house if I parked it in the
driveway.  Lucky for me a friend has offered a tired 1275 minus the head (I
have two heads rebuilt and ready to install).  The only logistical problem
is I am in Southern California and he is in the Bakersfield area
(Tehachapi) which is a 4 -5 hour ride one way.  I just got out of the
hospital for pneumonia and sepsis. Not quite 100% yet. I really am not
ready for a road trip just yet.  If I could get someone to go with me and
share the driving I would go this week.  Thanks much for the offer, but I
can't even retrieve a free motor just yet.
