What a lucky new owner. The history from the previous owner was just superb and is like stepping back in time. Fantastic car as well.

Not sure but is brynmusselwhite on Instagram if you want to follow him there. He use to write for a couple of car mags, not sure if he still does.

I commented to a friend who emailed the YT link to me not long after I'd viewed it and I'd made the first post here. He's owned Amazons and 140's. I said that in the video it was mentioned that the new owner was going to use it as a daily driver. My comment to that was, I hope he's not a painter and decorator!
Jonny Smith lives in the south east I think, and this car has a Kent, TKR, registration, so I might see it around in the future. Covid permitting of course. |

Absolutely. An those gorgeous fold out rear seats, with the chrome bars. 30 yrs, an it fired right up ( 'spec they cleaned points an that). Mine did same, astonishing, an ticked over steadily. Doesn't matter that some valves have stood open for yonks?! Had a go at starting a suzuki that had stood for 10 yrs, took day an half before fired.
