They don't necessarily know a lot about history John. Just money. And some of them don't give a tinker's cuss about anything else.

The text in the advert doesn't give any stats about the number of MOT fails (rust) compared to the straight saloon either! I had 8 of those blessed cars over 20 years, one of them pictured on the membership card no less.

That was in the days when I could actually change the rear brake pads without too much trouble. Had to cut an access panel into the boot floor though!

The only other problem I had was the vapour lock in the fuel feed from the reserve valve to the pump. Sorted that by a length of rubber hose cladding cut in a spiral (to got around the bends) up to the pump. Wonderful cars though.
