"A reliable friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburettor.
Engine mounts.
Door lock.
Servo tracking done several times, only became undriveable once.
General comments?
Very pleased, but dated now - no electric operation or c/l. Been to Brittany last 2 years, seems to like french petrol - got 40-42mpg with 4 up.
