Guccc Fenny.

On way to brokers.

Did Fenny ever arrive at the brokers?

[Mike Tee]

Norton Canes (at Glascote) have been showing it 'on the way' for a while now. 

[roland elsdon]

Left it there last week and went back to pick up my left handed screwdriver on monday.

 

Had to fit new alternator at Alvecote……

Lots of pictures of Fenny now on the Norton Canes site - I like it! I've already got a boat, but enjoy looking at others, in particular shortened historics.

This is Cormorant today at Taff Bridge with the front chopped off

I reckon they'll weld it back on again, once they've got that digger properly inside....

There wasn't enough head room to get the digger in.

If and I do say if I recall correctly Neil had the JP2 put in  

Just found this thread, so my comment may not now be totally relevant.

Yes, it was Neil who put the JP in. As I recall, it came from a fishing boat on the south coast. I suspect it had been sunk for some time as the engine surfaces were quite pitted. ( and probably still are)

Was he the current owner of Greenlaw? Greenlaw passed us while we were working, he came and had a chat. He seemed fairly young?

[Chris-B]

No ! Neil was a previous owner who was involved in the conversion to what it is now 

a lovely chap

Ah, either way, that is a shame. Condolences to all who knew him.
