I thought it was too and I was going to tax the thing and start using it, sadly circumstances didn't permit. It also turned out the fucker had been clocked at some point. I got decent money for it but I've not seen too much of it back as I needed to pay some stuff off.

I now realise how the Doloshite was considered an upmarket car compared to some of it's similarly sized brethren and are very appreciative of my rear trailing arms and front suspension that isn't from the 1940s...

Chugged along well though, the 1275cc in the Marina is way better geared for fast road use, wasn't screaming away on the motorway like the Dolly 1300 does, and the suspension while not making for great handling did absorb potholes well.
