It leaks a lot more than that, is that actually in the manual the 70mm thing as I have had some fail for just a single drip. The diesel leak was from the throttle spindle on the pump. The whole car is a heap of crap but they love it for some reason
Aye.

75mm in 5 mins

Thanks guys looks like I will be having a little chat with my testing station next time they fail one on an oil leak. I need to have words as they failed a brake pipe today that was really taking the piss as it cleaned up to shiney steel with no pitting easily. Finding a decent mot station is getting harder and harder round here now, I wouldn't dare take any of my mot exempt motors in as no doubt they would fail.

Looks like I've found a new home for the 1100. Someone who has the skills and know how to finish it. Also the motivation and want to too. Most importantly not wanting to just cube the shell and keep the parts.

Feel a bit sad/guilty for not finishing it, but then I've hopefully done more than enough work for it to be justified for it to be survived.

Oh what this also means, along with extra car storage, I'm getting really itchy feet on what to buy next.

Got to be:
a) working and usable (ideally MOT'd)
b) British
c) pre-90s, but ideally pre-80s
d) under 3k

Thinking Spitfire/Midget/Dolly (ideally Sprint)...

I'd love Italian but I could never meet those requirements on that budget.

(You seem to have forgotten to fit the mud guards.)

Cheers! I collected some SKS Bluemels earlier today as it happens - only £18 from Halfords thanks to a sale and a discount code, a good tenner saved vs. Wiggle, SJS, Tredz etc. I've fitted them but not taken a picture.

You won't get a Sprint for 3k but you may well get an 1850HL.

Not completely true... You'd be surprised what is around!

My ticket for Didders arrived today First Class, amazingly it is a completely free show. We will be there with the GGG.

70's or 80's RHD Yank?
TR7 (stop hissing at the back I like them, ideally in yellow with a black vinyl roof)
