My mobile is 0419 259 772. Mike Title: Re: 1959 FC Special Post by: Spinner on October 10, 2010, 11:27:18 PM I had a look at this car just before Mike put it up for sale, and I had a drive of it.
The car is in very good condition, I reckon that it is well worth what is being asked for it. It drives so smoothly too. I drove it from a cold start up, after a short period of time to warm up. The engine pulls very well, no hesitation. The clutch works beautifully as do the brakes. Gear selection is a breeze and it holds itself in gear too. I'd have to say that it is a well sorted out, very original car. Title: Re: 1959 FC Special Post by: mc54 on October 11, 2010, 06:43:57 AM Thank you for the kind words.
