Then a proper auto for a retired vicar! Besides, old vicars never retire - they just get put out to pastor.

Mickey and friends,
The Princess arrived in New Jersey yesterday. The engine is like the Austin-Healey six, and the main reason for it's appeal.
I usually follow the AH Forum. I welcome any input, and I'll post the questions as they present themselves.
Vicar? Never considered that profession, but you never know.
Cheers,
Bob

First problem encountered: Car creeps when in park - with engine running and on level ground. It also creeps with the engine off and in park, if even on a slight incline. Car has the Borg-Warner 3 speed automatic and is RHD. I understand there's a pawl to keep it from doing this that might be broken. Ideas on fix welcome. Also are there any transmission swaps common? The hand brake is not working, so I need a co-pilot to place the chocks ( which were in the trunk! ).
Thanks, Bob

Bob:
Be sure the shift linkage is pushing the transmission arm fully into Park. If it's a little loose or out of adjustment, it won't push the pawl into position.
That said, I did have a friend with a Jag sedan with the same trans and the pawl was broken. Not sure how he fixed it.
Otherwise, nice to see another Brit car in NJ. We live in Morris County but we're in the Somerville area at least once a week, so I recognize the name of your town.
Will you be at the Clinton or BritFest shows?
On a related note, I saw this '58 Morris Isis sedan out on Rt. 31 sort of near Flemington a few years ago. It was in a used car place. Gone now.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I plan on going to Britfest Saturday. What will you be driving?

I'm not sure I'll be able to make it (even though it's only about a mile from my house). We're watching grandkids that day at their house.
If I can sneak over in the morning to see some of my friends who are running things, I may do that. But I won't actually enter the event.
If I do drive over, I'll be in a white, wire-wheel '69 MGB or red Lotus Super 7 replica.
