Re: Straight 6, 3.8 majestic engine wanted

So, mystery solved ! It’s on Facebook !

The guy is in Norfolk, and looks like a banger racer, so not sure if he will sell the engine.

The guy on eBay appears to have 2 cars for breaking-‘the grey one has working engine (asking £1500)

Be interesting to see a new buyer emerge.

Ref the Empress, shocking but not unexpected low price - expect this on sale from a dealer for £45k soon.

Must be old age, but I thought I read a post on here from a new user with a Majestic for breaking, but can’t find it now (probably same as eBay)

Re: BOOKS

Nick, this is not Nora’s autobiography.

Someone kindly loaned me a copy some years ago, and made a fascinating read.

I think copies are rare as I’ve never seen another.

Anthony, got my copy from the Daimler Enthusiasts eBay shop cheaper 😊

Re: BOOKS

Thanks Anthony.

I have most of the books, but had never seen the Docker Daimler book.

I’ve ordered a copy on-line
(No point in bidding on the auction lot - it’ll cost a fortune to post !)

Driving Member magazines

I have 4 boxes of Driving Member magazines.

They span from Vol10 A4 black and white duplicated, then a A5 size, right up to last year.

They provided a treasure trove of information and practical knowledge. Ideal winter reading.

Free, but can post at cost.

Re: DB18 DHC Rear Hub Seal

Stephen, good to see you are working on the car. Basically my small additions to Steves comprehensive post, A 56mm socket will undo the big nut. The bearings are 6309. I recommend getting known brands, and old stock - Fag or Skf. Look on eBay. The seals are 2.5 x 3.18 (I have used 3.25) x 0.5. R21 w...

Re: DB17 EUW 968

This looks like a nice car, and will be a good winter project to recommission.

I’ll have a look at the Register, and report- at least it will be documented from now.
