Miles covered

All of them

Smooth runner?

We've had the car for a couple of weeks now and it's a pretty decent runner with just 41,000 miles on the clock when I picked it up.
The orange velour interior is a highlight - and Juan's amazing paint job!
It's spent all of its life on the Isle of Man, so it must have gone around a fair few times! So far I've had to replace the main headlight unit, fitted winter tyres and a decent stereo (which only just fits the tiny space they allowed for radios 30 years ago).
I've got to have a fiddle with the ignition cut-off so it starts reliably, replace the filters, wipers and spark plugs, and change the filthy Brent crude which is currently running around the engine.
So it's off to the warmth and wide variety of spanners offered by garage de papa this Bank Holiday weekend.
That's me and Juan with the car before I set off from the Isle of Man.
