 In the car park - Dog
>>Best avoided I think as those 'lovely' old cars we remember could be a crushing disappointment.

Nice to tinker around with though on a Sunday morn - 10 thou on the 'tappets' (set cold) Timing: 8 BTDC. Points (um, contact breakers) 15 thou. Fiddle about with the Stromberg or SU carbs. 25 thou on the plugs etc. etc.

20 MPG - what's not to like??

Westpig and some other 'herbert' had nice Triumph 2000's ISTR.

I got to work on and drive a few Princess 4-litre R's back in the day too = very nice British cars indeed.
