This is an incredibly difficult thing to do, I have put blood into getting this thing on the road, but I plan on moving and I'm afraid I cannot take this car with me. I have not offered it for sale anywhere else yet.

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.

Thank you for the kind words.
