PHWAH!  :o

does it have the tyre pressures on the inside of the drivers door? and look after that power steering ;)

one of the first things id do is remove the blower mounting brackets from the sides, bad for rotting behind them.

What a lovely little mog. I'm growing a real soft spot for 411's... The wide would kill me though!

Hopefully one day we'll get to see it all freshened up at one of the meets?

That's the spirit... If you leave now you'll probably make it to the summer meet in time! :D

Would you trailer it long distance or make a holiday of travelling in it? I very much doubt you'd want to drive it that far but, well, you never know!

yeah, quite a rare beast, its an original british import :) shes very rough underneath, the whole sub frame needs re-building, and the cab mount bushes have been welded at some time, so the cab mounts have ripped from the floor.

 the soft tops arent too expensive, its the frame that'll set you back. that and the windows,which really are expensive!
