	One of my current dally drivers been really reliable only suffering a broken rear ball joint in a year of use after being in storage for years. Had to do a load of welding to get it back on the road but it is a 70s British Leyland car so not surprising haha

	Thanks dodgerover :-) I've had a strange hankering for one for years so grabbed this one when it came up locally. Every one says they can't remember the last time they saw one lol.

	Reminds me of one my dad had, what colour is it his was Harvest Gold. Not too keen on all the added stuff, aerials etc or the rostyles but it's your car. You certainly don't see them these days.

	I've said it before, old BL tin is the next big thing. There's a few Maxi's regularly wafting around Sheffield.

	I knew a grocer who had one of those as a shop car in the '80s. Everyone drove it hard and overloaded it, no-one really cared for it, but it just wouldn't die.
