Check out the period accessories. Is that a sparkomatic fuel computer I spy. and the electric aerial switch. Maybe luminition as well?

what a piece of shite! No wonder the british car industry went down the pan.

Now when's Andrew going to return from knocking one out over it?

That's wicked - seriously tempted. Odd how it's just the HL and not the usual HLS, but the E6 is looking rampant. Sandglow is a bit grim though - these look best in black with the gold coachline.

Nah, needs to be a 2 litre O Series really. They go well enough and are 30 mpg turds. Black on black on black (paint/vinyl roof/velours) and a bit of Patrick Hernandez on the Unipart radio cassette. :D

4.5 inch wide 14" Steelz with 185 section tyres, so designed to make the rubber act as part of the suspension. With the BL recommended 22psi they handle like a double bed. My old Man used to whack 30 psi his company 1700HL, transfomed the handling. He was a bit of a speed merchant in the 70's. CVH479V had a hard life. :o

The centre badges are the same as the 1100/1300 steering wheel centres.
