yes We got a standard 500, recently imported from the UK making 278.5 (PS-DIN) at last month's rolling road day (for the record, a 400 HC made 232, a pair of Tuscans were in the 360-370 bracket, a Cerb 4.5 was in the high 360s and another hit low 380s) - though at the one before (same place, 3 years ago) none of the standard ones quite broke 250.

Swings & roundabouts...

Sorry too busy fixing / driving it to clean it.

Building a house next door too so it's covered in dirt / cement / sand, as am I.

Watching this very keenly, would love to get a Chim the moment I leave Uni.

TBH the cars vary so much it's impossible to say how much you could spend.

If I'd gone to a specialist I'm sure I'd be close to a £1k bill by now.

Essentially they are basic cars though which it what attracts me to them.
