I’ve been after this car for a while as it’s had all the problem areas sorted already and recent paint. Went to fetch it from up North at the weekend and the top hose popped off after ten minutes on the a19, steam cleaning the engine bay. Luckily we limped to a petrol station and filled it up again and the drive home was fine after that. It cruises happily at 70 and seemed to return good fuel economy – there’s an electrical fault meaning the MPG meter, rev counter, interior light and hazards don’t work but that looks like an easy fix.

Proper photos to follow!
