	Bought this car blind of eBay, but the seller sounded like a nice bloke so made him an offer and before I knew it the car was on my drive , the seller brought it after it was stood for 10 years and changed plugs leads points etc , but couldn’t get it running. So after 15 minutes of head scratching I realised he had wired the points up wrong, so sorted that and it fired straight up , bled brakes and that was it , a runner - the underneath was surprisingly solid just surface rust , engine is 100% , pictures to follow

	The difference made by just painting the wheels and sorting the tyres out is stunning. Subtle, sweet ride.
