Well that's just PLUMB rude Daz.

In fact its a load of old BALL COCK if you ask me.

You keep PLUGGING on about your 310hp 36 mpg Chim but there no need to try and thow our 4.0HC cars down the DRAIN.

The Megaskirt is a good CISTERN for sure, but actually there is nothing wrong with the Lucas 14CUX.

Sometimes U-BEND our ears too much about all your modifications.

Perhaps its time to TAP into a new hobby as you seem to blow HOT & COLD.

None of our cars are in the first FLUSH of youth so stop the TOILET mouth please.

Being cheeky about my 4.0HC car is like calling my wife an old BOILER.

Stick that in your DOWN PIPE & smoke it.

(Well I feel hungry after all that, I'm off to have that nice bit of STILSON on a Jacobs cracker left over from Christmas)

Without sounding negative i have asked if they are interested in supplying further info,but as you can imagine there are a lot of owners out there asking the same question...it could turn into a big hobbie for him.

Obviously someone walked out of the factory gates with all the admin records which is great news. It could have so easily have been trashed.

But such information is only significant if it is used, to hide it away in an attic devalues it to zero.

Perhaps your friend could charge a nominal fee to supply the information on a regulated X per month so it does not take over his life! If you have to wait a few months for an answer I think many would be happy to wait.
