how many inaccuracies can people spot in this? :p



lets start with the fact that the GPO didn't own convertibles (unless i'm very much mistaken)

also, spot that the video features two cars -- more prominently a later model, but also one with the smaller sidelights and aux flashers (without an engine).

Morris on the "door"?
Made in '59? (well maybe the one without an engine that's dropped was)
Factory by the Tyne - not unless it was a ship!
And he changed the rocker valves (not sure what they actually pull out there)?
But most importantly, the biggest mistake by far, they change the coil and as we all know "it's never the coil!" :lol:
