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.

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

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.
