4750rpm redline! It's a ridiculously torquey thing, doesn't feel lacking at all.

If it helps conclude a sale I may take a part-ex if it is:
A) Cheap, and easy for me to punt on quickly, or
B) Causes arousal in my gentleman's area.

Would a 1978 Mk1 Cav cause any movement in your trousers perchance?

I've had two before and both provided stimulus... *Edit, I had this 1.6 GL, but it was stolen by joy-riders.  |

Very nice  Shame it was nicked  here's mine: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/160654?page=4It's such a cool motor but I've had it very nearly a year now and that's a pretty long time for me! I've got itchy feet to the max. Keep changing my mind and wanting to keep it one minute and next I'm scouring eBay for unspiration! This bad boy has manta recaros and clocks, brand new lowing springs (not chopped) mini racing shocks up front and modified bump stops for comfy travel. As well as a straight through cherry bombed exhaust and fake minilites. New radiator, alternator, coil, thermostat and all service bits and bobs. Got about 90k on it and used daily for the last year, at one point doing 60 miles a day for months! Sorry for cluttering your for sale thread - should probably pm! |

Re. your rev counter/radio problem - check the metal contacts in the fuse box. They hold the fuses in situ but can lose tension over time. If you squeeze them back together then replace fuse it might do the trick. Nice eta by the way. Is this the one that Boyd sold a while back? Seem to recognise the wheels.

It's a great wee car. Solid, tidy, day to day reliable. |

Intensifying parking problems and rising blood pressure mean I'm bumping this.

The 'will he or won't he?' continues as my 'solution' has proved to be a complete failure.
