Has anyone got anything else to say?

My Sprint hasn't run for 18 months, the last four months it's been under
a sheet on the drive. To be honest I'm scared to lift up the sheet to
see what's left! Any advice?

As part of our annual MOT test they test the braking effort by sitting
the car on powered rollers and the rear limiter works perfectly despite
the fact the car it came off has been off the road for over ten years. I
start the stored car every few months and have a back lane I can drive
it up and down to free the brakes. My neighbours find this very
'entertaining' as most of the exhaust has now dropped off with corrosion
!! And it sounds more like a WW 2 fighter. Fortunately they all like
old Alfa`s. As for my seized clutch on the Sprint. Last time I had this
problem, when I was restoring my now roadworthy Ti. I jacked up one
front wheel kept the clutch pedal depressed with some wooden blocks. Put
it in gear and put a large 1" socket on the hub nut and with the help
of a scaffolding tube , got enough leverage to turn the hub and the
clutch freed its self with a bang and worked fine after that. This tip
may be of use to other members of the forum. Its nice to have some
correspondence in the forum. Has anyone else got anything to say ?
