My name is John and I am the very proud owner of Ted the Traveller, named after my late Father who owned one back in the day. He was very proud of his three year old rose taupe 1966 model but was very disappointed when at it's first MOT they found the rear floor and spring hangers where shot. It was sorted out and he kept the car for many years but warned me off them due to the rot problems - I didn't listen and after I took early retirement last year a Traveller was top of the list to spend some of my lump sum.
And so to Ted
a '71 Adderley Park model resplendent in Bermuda blue which, I understand, was only used on one other model - police cars. He's in pretty good nick with his original wood (needs a little TLC) having benefitted from an engine overhaul and general titivation from the previous owner. Now I'm not shy about getting stuck in to just about everything but I wanted a tidy car that I could use as my daily driver and he fits the bill perfectly (I can personally guarantee that you can get 17 bin bags fullof hedge clippings into the back of a Traveller) I've changed the diff for a less whiney one, and done general servicing in the 12 months we've had him and he had paid us back by being a reliable and economical runabout - just what was required.[frame][frame]
The little dark patch on the rear of the nearside waist rail has got worse over the last year and the end four inches is now very soft, I've been reading up on other owners experiences and have got a nice piece of ash ready to be spliced in more on that when it happens.
Cheers

Luckily I had a couple of nice stainless socket head bolts that fitted perfectly. I can report that the ride has improved significantly and not a clonk can be heard on any surface fast or slow
