	That's correct. I had no idea there was one in the auction and had no intention of attending but a friend messaged me on Friday saying there was a 305 in as a late entry, there weren't any photos up and it hadn't been added to the auction catalogue so none of the punters on the day knew about it really. I went up for a look on Friday, it looked a bit scabby but drove perfectly and the interior was decent so I left a bid of £400 with the auctioneer. The 305 was one of the last entries to be auctioned so the majority of people had left already, the auctioneer started the bidding at £200, someone in the hall bid £250 and then it fell back to my bid at £300, it felt like an eternity waiting for the hammer to drop but then it did and the 305 was mine...

	Most threads are continuations, which I don't mind of course, but yours are new installments every time you update. You never know what we are presented with! Very enjoyable!

	I haven't updated this in a while... I did some top quality* welding on the 305 estate and got it mot'd RJC_1328 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_1336 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_1344 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_1349 by srblythe, on Flickr And finished it off with a random can of Ford midnight grey, it's been pressed into daily service and runs surprisingly well. *It looked like curse word!

	Bought a Jumbuck I'd previously owned in 2014 sight unseen from ebay. DSC_0770 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0773 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0772 by srblythe, on Flickr It was in much poorer condition and didn't run so I cut my losses and sold it on as spares. Then I bought this DSC_0789 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_0787 by srblythe, on Flickr

	I used the Jumbuck to A-frame my other Proton away for head gasket renewal and skimming RJC_2316 by srblythe, on Flickr RJC_2320 by srblythe, on Flickr It wasn't particularly nice to tow with and I kept the speeds down to stop it snaking about the road.
