History
Purchased around 1964 as my second-ever car following a1952 Hillman Minx. I loved the colour of the car. and drive it for about 2 - 3 years until I sold it in favour of a new XP Falcon. The car looked great, but unfortunately handled terribly, and had a tremendous thirst for fuel. (See modifications.)
Modifications
I attempted to improve the handling by fitting "Tramp Rods" to stop read axle shudder under acceleration, and also lowering the rear with blocks. Neither of those modifications worked particularly well! The fuel economy issue was improved somewhat by replacing the original twin downdraft solex carburettors with 1 1/4 inch SUs.
