Being out of contention for the prizes we skipped the trip to Loret de Mar and headed straight for Barca.
Dropped John off at airport and then into centre. Took our eye off the gauge on Las Ramblas and boiled with steam shooting out from our radiator hole that we’d previously fixed with radweld. Discovered that fan wasn’t turning as plastic cowling was sticking in it so broke it off. Radiator did not seem to leak again during next two weeks and never overheated either!
Nice to meet family’s, shower and have a few beers.
Car then had a well deserved rest in Costa Brava.
Although I did need to mend the exhaust with some empty coke tins, a spanner splint and coat hanger wire after it broke in half.
And finally she went to Barcelona scrap yard – but apparently this will not be the end. Mercedes are shipped on to Africa – and why not! I’m sure the car has another 15 years life.
