with every xe theres allways the potential to rebuild it though

mmm I wonder if he means, float springs or the actually throttle springs, I don't see any connecting fuel pipe either, maybe its underneath on them webbers instead of on top like dellortos.

That's my mates, it's a good car, looks smart!
Rich when you saw it getting towed it popped a driveshaft, was fixed within 10 minutes of it being home!
Just needs setting up and it'll be rapid.

Given death yes. And has been seen doing very well. Lets be honest, anything like that has been built for that purpose. As jr said. If bought, get it set-up again just to be sure. Could be a very good buy

It needs the Carbs setting up in it, that's the main problem with it, 1st gear bogs a bit but after that it pulls like anything, I was suitable impressed, sounds good too on idle
