Fast enough to create a little bow wave, not so fast that water is forced over the bonnet.

The shell looks remarkably okay given where its parked but I imagine the underside is hiding all sorts of horrors. Its matters not though; I managed to get hold of the owner over the weekend - "the car is not for sale". Not even interested to hear what I might offer him.
I should have made a bet him that it'll still be there in a year. If he moves it I'll pay him £500, if he doesn't I get the car.

Went to look at the 405 again this afternoon. Looks like it was last on the road in 2004 based on the tax disc and a peek inside shows its on 140k miles. I'm guessing theres a probably a (mechanical) reason why it was parked up in 2004 and doesn't look to have moved since.
Found a few clues as to who might own it so will see if I can get in touch to find out more.

howmanyleft tells me there are only 7 of any variant of the 405 mi16 taxed and on the road.

I think the 2.0 was introduced in 1992 and this one was registered in Oct '91 so may well be a series one. Been doing some reading over night and I do really like the idea of restoring it... that would mean figuring out who owns it and them agreeing to sell it to me for a reasonable amount.
There's no MOT information about it online which means the earliest it was last on the road was 15 years ago.
The drivers window was open so I'll stick my head in today to see if there any clues.

Speaking of old french tat.. Found this on an extended walk with the dog this afternoon.

If the former isn't dependent on the later why not.
If I'm after a decent set of sockets and spanners is the go-to choice the halfords advanced stuff? Something like this:

Anything else I should be considering?
