Down&Out

The dip on the engine bay crossmember is smaller, which is a good giveaway. It'll have drip rails, different gutter corners, hole in the rear seat, round tunnel with the mk1 style starter hump, ashtrays in the rear bins and so forth. If it has all these, its probably genuine.

It had most of the main stuff...been off the toad since '86...very honest little car but has had some not very good repairs...i wanted to do bare minimum and use it...still tempted but what would you pay? It is missing a rear valance...definately needs a doorstep and loeer quarter...sills seem solid but have no vents and dont look like oversills that i have ever seen? Perhaps home made jobbies?

Trouble is it'd just get caked with salt on the way back. They seem to go mad with it around here :/
Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but I don't want to leave it sat for the week with any avoidable amount of it stuck in the arches. Festering. Eating. :x

Guessing it isn't really worth it then. Still these speedos are so accurate that it will say 150 when you are really doing way less :P

Feb 01 2015 07:36 PM

Vinay-RS

It is. I thought we were talking km/h :) The mph values are on the inside. So my clubman speedo goes up to 140km/h or 90mph

HOW DARE YOU!! :( I liked watching Star Wars when I was younger, but could never get 'into it'. for some reason. Funny really, I was obsessed with Halo on the XBOX, which is just Star Wars with a twist and different story line to be honest.
