Faults:

I had to replace the king and link pins just after I bought it.

Driver's seat is badly worn.

Replaced the exhaust after a year, hard to find.

Converted the electrical system from 6 volts to 12 volts, because of the traffic police (lights too dim).

Bought new tires.

The accelerator cable broke, the first and only time this car ever left me stranded.

General Comments:

She is now 42 years old, of which I have had her for 5 years as the second owner. This is an amazing machine, very basic, but totally unbreakable. It was a very sad day when I sold her.

Top speed after about three hills on a highway is 65 mph, the fourth gear runs from 35 mph right through to 65 mph.
