1969 AMC Javelin SST review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new starter motor after a couple of weeks.
Suffered from overheating problems and misfiring. After trying a number of things, eventually all problems cured with a recored radiator.
Plan your journey carefully. The 12 gallon tank is only good for around 150 miles!
General comments?
This is a very unusual right-hand drive version. Great fun and not difficult to maintain, even for a total amateur.
Bags of performance, even after 35 years, but is better still as a cruiser.
