He has owned it since he bought it brand new in 1972!

65,000 miles... and it hasn't been restored at all. Arches were done about 10 years ago, along with wheels, sand blasted and Re painted

He said it would have to go if petrol ever went over 50p A GALLON!!

Such a great car to drive.

That'll be one of the last 150bhp ones, won't it?

I had a K reg back in the 60s. How the hell is the mechanical Lucas injection still working..?
It is indeed 150bhp.

Thanks for all the comments.

I will find some pictures this evening of when he drove it down to Venice back in the 70's!

Completely forgot I ever made this thread.

Unfortunately my Dad passed away early in 2012.

Good news, is that I still have the car and it won't be going anywhere soon smile

Did about 250 miles in it last year which I think is a record!
