"A classic piece of motoring history"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Over the last 5 years I have changed all the front suspension bushes and rubbers, the starter motor, alternator, battery, rear springs (upgrade), rear bushes, shocks, some minor rust (rear quarter) and general service components such as spark plugs, points etc.

General comments?

The car does 500 miles each week.

It goes really well and has its own temperament.

It turns heads especially from people who remember or owned one.

It is not quick and some say uncomfortable, but it is mine and that's the way I like it.

I have a 1971 Hillman Hunter HE model. I am in the middle of doing a restoration on it one bit at a time.

I have painted it white with red interior, and have redone the suspension (springs and rear shocks).

I am having trouble chasing down the front strut inserts though, any help would be greatly appreciated (I have been trying for months) as the contacts I seem to have are way too expensive.
