Two previous owners....a nurse, and then a vicar...no, this isn't the cast of a Carry-on film! Oh, and the 80 year old took me for a test drive, prior to letting me drive the car myself, and drove at a colossal speed to show me what the car is capable off. I won't need my Senakot tonight!

Newby

Hi chaps, I am new to the forum as I am considering purchasing my first Moggy. I have owned a broad range of classics in the past, including A35 van and saloon, Rover P6, SD1, Jag, BM, etc etc. I am presently looking at a 1969 2 door car with two months MoT.
