Nice

Needs a whack with the lowering stick

Looks lovely. Never noticed what a large stud pattern they have!

What's the silver grille for in place of the fog light on the other side?

[unclemark123]

did you buy that car from andy ham in somerset?

Looks great! (but i would say that owning a 65 as well). Like the 5's but i think you need to sort out that positive camber, i'm all for a bit of rake but i'd go a touch (maybe 2 inner down and up 2 inner 2 outer back up).Looks like it's in lovely condition though

Yep, early ones have 'wide five' pattern.

The horn sits behind it, there's one on each side.

Photos were taken pre suspension drop, fitted a 2" narrowed front beam with puma adjusters and dropped the back by a 1 spline.

I originally bought it from a guy in wales, it was advertised on The Samba.
