This turned up at our workshop for a new exhaust.



Who knows what it is?

More clues to follow... if some smart-arse dosen't get it first!

Hmmmm, must be something yankee-doodle with a front axle like that? Probably less than 5 years old, too, as they have chosen modern hi tech coil springs over the usual leaf springs.

gazza285 - 24/2/12 at 02:12 PM

Too late it's gone but you're always welcome for a brew.

Not a truck and not Yank. There's cart springs at the back

Ah yes P4

Andy gets it by a nose.

It was booked in as a Rover 100 (which it is) but we thought they meant the last of the Metros.





Took me back to my youth and diving over the bench seat aged 5 to sit up front with my Mum. Suicide rear doors, no seat belt,. semi-rod brakes and half side valve, half overhead valve strieght six.

Wasn't in bad nick. Biggest problem putting the exhaust on was finding Whitworth spanners (or at least remembering where I put them) to undo the old one. 1/4 whit isn't the same as anything else.

Yep, all that.

How did we manage with wing mirrors? The field of view was terrible. I don't remember them being that bad.
