My new daily. I've also got a MK1 van thats under going a long a long overhaul. Anyway. Picked this little one up from ebay, got 4 trains to pick it up and then drove all the way back home untroubled the 200mile trip. Its got nearly 60K on the clock and this could well be the actual mileage. its never been welded and it in great condition. Only things wrong with it are rear wiper don't work and front passenger side water jet don't work and the headrest on the drivers side is wrong. So no major issues.       If anyone can shed any light on this I would be greatful. Linwood Electronic Saturn 6, connects to the coil and dizzy?  |

I do like these! That looks so nice and original, cool colour too. Good on you for going far afield to get a car, it's always fun I think!

First estate Mk1 I've ever seen, I didn't even know they made them. Very clean it is too, just the way it is.

That really is very clean, and looks good.
Would be a perfect sleeper, but standard is good too.

Well been a long time with no updates so here is a couple of updates. So took the car to the NEC last November for the Classic Car Show. Then after that started to use it as my daily driver and have fitted a stereo and a fag lighter. Also had a major issue with it running right so I gave it a service and still didn't run right. Found a Weber carb on Ebay so got that and a rebuild kit and fitted that. Now runs perfect with no problems. Have been using every down now for six months with no problems. The major mods started as I got the chance to have it wrapped for free so thought why not and ended up with this....   Then last week decided to lower it, so it now sits like this   Still need to get the cash together for some better rims and can get it to sit right on them Hope you enjoy |
