Purchased in December 2013. Previous owner had the car for ten years and it was restored some time prior. I have reconditioned the front and rear suspension and replaced all body seals (doors, lights, boot ). The engine runs well but the gearbox and diff require a rebuild. I have no plans to do a full rebuild at this stage as i am enjoying driving the car.
Modifications
Minator 13x5 wheels. alloy radiator, brake booster, frontline ford 5 speed gear box conversion , panhard rod and cold air induction with pod filter between inner and outer guard.Seats with headrests from a 1972 Midget
What a fabulous day that must have been in '65 !
Loved that Buick, the Rover, and the Whippet.
.
The Steam Roller and steam engines fascinate me too.
.
McLeans Bridge road was so different back then.
The Gymkhana events look like fun.
I've been to several functions there organised by the T.S.O.A (Triumph Club)
(back in the '70s)
.
I hope the QVVA club is still going strong, no doubt the cars are still going well,
and hopefully the people who attended are still going strong too ! Cheers.
