;D Got it trailered back today, it's fantastic! It's a one owner 1500 FWD, pre-dolomite - it's a 1971, so tax exempt! Fantastic nick, interior is mint, it's really a very nice car. At the moment it's lowered excessively but I've got a set of taller springs and will be replacing the dubious backbox on the rear. Sprint wheels too Other than that, it's great! Got every MOT from new and only done 44,000 miles. Real rare beastie! Haven't driven it much - needs a quick service, raising, speedo cable then I'm set to go! (got height? got camber?) I love it to bits! ;D

They never made Dollies in this colour, and at best there's 10, maybe 20 1500FWD's left? So you'll never see another ;D

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Looks superb! Well done on a great buy. Does it drive nice with that stance? If it does, I'd leave it at that ride height, it looks right.

Drives seemingly very well. Bloody curse word catches on everything left right and centre mind, so it has to come up Bumpy where we are, you see...

Superb!
That stance looks spot on to me! Leave at that height and move house - a much better idea.
167 cool points!

Can't believe you are thinking of raising that, it sits perfectly!

WOW, what a stunner!! I agree that it looks great lowered,but if it were mine I would raise it to the original height. I love modified cars,but one thats otherwise as original and as rare as this should be kept original in my opinion. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. I seem to remember the flywheel being visible from under the bonnet on the FWD 1500,and thus the starter being incredibly noisy. Is yours like that?

Yea, I need to raise it anyway! Otherwise there won't be anything left underneath, it'll be ground flat ;D Thinking of putting my spare backbox on - And just having the chrome tip protruding

is this the hush hush motor? looks great. id keep it low, but if you don't want to damage the underside fair play if you raise it.
