Re: Keeping it BMC

Ahh yes that would be an easier way round it, I'm tempted to look into that. Although the title of the thread would have to change to 'Keeping it BMC and Vauxhall' :D

Re: Keeping it BMC

Thanks for the replies all - interesting reading. The twin carbs would give the 'period' look, but I will certainly hang on to the 1.5" SU also. The wider rims and tyres have me thinking also. I'm not a fan of marina rims - I prefer the standard minor look. With van rims being like hen's teeth ...

Thanks for the advice on the twin carbs also...
