[unstuck]

I rooted the old one by being ham-fisted.

why does that not surprise me,

Just to say - I've had the Marina lorry for over 6 months and apart froma small starter issue it has been 100% reliable, starts hot or cold on one compression and runs on the smell of an oily rag - an Arabs jock-strap will do it.

Biggest cost?
A new speedo-cable - I rooted the old one by being ham-fisted.

Glad to hear you've still got her and things are going well

I hope you're a fantastic and enthusiastic mechanic Indy...

[Indiana_Jones]

I'd rather have the manual version.....worth a look regardless.

I'm yet to drive one, so keen to see what they're like.

They're shit. I love me Brit' cars, but these are absolutely appalling

I like Tomcats though, and they're shit too

Which would be a good thing if it still had a Honda motor and other reliable bits, unfortunately they have an engine that can eat more heads than Ozzy on meth

I want a fucking Princess, but the mrs won't bloody drive it.......

I think the Honda powered ones were from the late 80's through to the mid 90s when BMW owned them?

Earlier ones (some) had the D16B Honda 4 cyl and the icky Honda V6 from the Legend (I had one, 4 hours after buying it snapped the cambelt oopsie)
I'm pretty certain there's f-all Honda in the R3 shape 200 cars? The early one was a Civic/concerto
But that model had the K series in it. You do get used to doing heads on them though... they heads are soft, like cheese.

Tell her she'll look dapper in a Princess, Doug sez so

[Indiana_Jones]

Yay!!!

Any decent modern British cars out there? Montego?

I can't think of any off the top of my head apart from a few Jags, but I don't think they're what you're looking for lol
How about one of them newer (pre-BMW) Minis? A mate had one a while back, ex Japland. Picked up fairly cheap, had a hot 1275 in it with a real happy sounding cam
