How good is your sweet talking Pete?. You may already know of this one but I've just spotted it on Flickr, it's a 1 owner from new 1600 XL Auto, I doubt it's for sale but you know, especially as it sounds like the owner is elderly. It will be in the Basingstoke area though.

I saw that on flickr too, an amazing survivor, probably one of the earliest around.

hiya

 

thanks

yes i put semi in but learned the hard way!

it runs and sounds great but a bit tricky in 2nd, you have to 'feel' it into 2nd, especially when cold.

overall it runs well

 

 

thank you for heads up on oil

Are you using 75W90 GL4?
