Hi Guys.
Basically, despite appearing to be in very nice condition, it's starting running like cr*p.
The car drove well for a few months, but since Saturday's trip to the coast, I barely made it back home.
The engine lacks power or throttle response, smoke pours out the back when trying to accelerate and the revs are hunting when driving although it idles OK.
I also detect a whistling sound, which could be an intake leak, but nothing obvious to the naked eye.

I don't like the idea of breaking, but can't afford a money pit either. I only considered splitting or letting her go for parts to a fellow classic enthusiast.

If this running issue is cheap and simple, then fine. Experience tells me that very little falls into that category!
