Neighbours want to close road for party - can I still drive on it?

From what I remember of my old Interceptor nowadays it would cost about £50 in fuel to start it from cold and get it beyond the end of the average cul-de-sac, although I am sure the OP's one is very far from average :)

On a serious note I did a mechanical restoration on one in the same colour, years ago, (I don't touch bodywork). I managed to find some new in crates Chrysler V8's that were used in fire tenders in the US, put the correct higher compression pistons in one and the right cam, and it was effectively a brand new engine. Jensen's idea of fuel hosing looked like an engine bay fire in the making, so I Aeroquipped as much as possible. A fast lorry, complete with cart sprung live back axle :) I always thought the longer wheel base £which I assume they had, looked like it) of the Ferguson Formula, Maxaret braking system models looked sleeker, but both were elegant tourers.

13 cars, a big flat bed car trailer, a caravan and a 40 foot truck here at the moment, move out to the countryside... At one of `er indoors Mrs. Bucket soirees I think she had 25 or so cars on the property plus whatever I had knocking around at the time. Can't beat a bit of space. Needn't cost a packet, either.

But however much space you have you can crave more. I remember going to a local chap's farm, now a good friend, and asking where his boundaries were whilst on some pretty high ground. "Can't see them in any direction Chris, as far as the eye can see, 360 degrees..." :)

Then there's Oz, where some need a small plane to get to their boundaries in a timely manner.
 
Should have bought a higher than average vehicle like my pickup - street parties nothing more than a slight bump in the road.
