Set off at 5:30pm ish.......arrived home at 1:15am

so yes! Had a few stops on the way to fill up the tank but I averaged about 20mpg

Top speed is way off the speedo

and 0-60 is rapid as hell

Have a guess

it was a lot less than I was thinking when I bought it!

Give you a clue it was about the average price for a 90

Nah bit more than that but it is colder and more rattly!

I will get round to fitting a pickup cab when I find one as well as a micro heater and a little bit of insulation!

Mr Noisy · May 5, 2014

Tremendous vintage appeal though

Roof down this summer? Winning.

Thanks

I'm gonna go see if one of the spare fan belts my mate has will fit so I can have a drive later!

Roof off, doors completely off, windscreen down, straight through exhaust burbling

thats the plan anyway!

I hate the look of the truck cab series 1's but each to theyre own

Drivability upgrades are legal

The soft top definitely looks better but the hood sticks on this one are a little knackered and it means the soft top doesn't quite close up at the back

plus I feel it wont be long til the canvas needs replacing
