I have loved and loathed her in equal measure for 33 years. She was a box of bits when I bought her and she was rebuilt by my friend in his car engineering business over a period of a couple of years. Since then she has had a rebuild of the gearbox to stop it jumping out of 2nd and a complete new cooling system. Latterly she has had optical electronic ignition and new distributor cap and rotor arm which has resolved the hot starting issues.
