Thanks for that Paul, I remember lots of things about that first one - which I guess from your dates wasn't APC'd: I went to Goteborg to fetch it back to England - it had 1 mile on the clock, (These were times when there was a custom duty advantage in "go fetch"; tho sadly at Newcastle they'd never seen one so was there a day while they decided what I had to pay). Sadly they forgot to (Z something?) it so it rusted away, Was 'sold' it in W. Wittering - nice man said, "I can tell you like it, take it back to London for a few days". Course I liked it! I left my old Austin 1300 with him and drove off! No names, no nothing. (Times present times past, huh!). Repaid his trust - got girlfriend to buy one from him a while later. In London and Paris it beat nearly everyone from the lights; in both places there was a crowd around it every time I came back to it. Re recent thread - the fan got disconnected while in traffic jam. £2000 for a new cylinder head. Current one (1990-1 - well G reg anyway) has 300,000 miles and been turned over in airborne treble somersault; no garage service since 95. I love 'em! Still have both! Keep this one cos don't like the new (GM) ones so much. PS - apologies to all for memory lane trip
