General comments?
Bought the car from a mate who owned her from new for 200 quid. My what a bargain. She has had a bi anual oil and filter change since new and goes like the clappers!. Only uses a pint of oil per month and the engine is original!. I`ve spent 100 notes getting her up to to scratch and outperforms ANY car of its era. Bags of room and over 50mpg is easily achievable. Perkins claimed it to be the strongest engine of its class and I quite belive it. By far the most handy and hardy car I have owned!
To quote Nicholas Parsons.. SALE OF THE CENTURY!
