    Hello.

    My brother has an original, complete with the ford side oiler engine.
    What is the point of that car?!
    The electric system is sheer stupid at its best, car wiring is that Lucas bullet connector crap.
    Get to the engine and you have some American, some British, and worked about as well as it sounds.
    Rear view mirrors? the little bitty things on the side a nearly useless and the one in the middle is in the wrong place to be of any use.
    Even the horn button sucks, but what can I say, British.
    Somebody took a nice engine and dumped it into a British ash bin.

    Just like a Dodge pickup with a diesel engine. There they took a nice engine (Cummins) and put it in a Chrysler POS pickup.

    But I digress...
