Is it me or are those shock absorber mounts seriously FUBAR'd? Or are they supposed to bend backwards like that?

Also, why would you put an anchor in the front of a vixen? Especially one with siamese exhaust ports (thought it was a V4 essex to start with, until I noticed the 6 spark plugs).

Yes they are supposed to be like that. Regarding the anchor - no idea! Seems to me it gives you the worst of everything

Saw that car when I was in Holland, it was a complete car but needed work doing to get it back on the road. There was talk then that it would be for sale, had I know how much it was I would have brought it instead of the car I ended up with.
