Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I had one for about 5 years - great fun if a bit unreliable. I'd have thought that "H" or "J" reg would be more likely, "G" was pre-Rostyle wheels IIRC. BTW, how come it's got the Yank triple wiper system and side markers but it's RHD? Converted?

davet Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 if you note on my add it was imported for calafornia before i owned it and converted to r/h drive that,s why it has the american wiper system , markers and no rust, wheels are correct for the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Sorry, yes, I did read that but it's a hell of a job to convert to RHD and most US imported ones would be left as LHD I'd have thought, so it's unusual in that respect. Actually, those wipers are far better than the UK spec cars had. I might be wrong on the year but when I was looking for mine in '71, there were none with Rostyles older than "H" and many of the "H" ones were chrome grille and hubcapped wheels. Very soon after mine (SBH 721J) they went to different Rostyles and the rear arches were more radiussed than the flat-top ones on yours and my old one - "K" reg ones were like that. If I recall, they were about £700-£800 new in '70! Great value little car and dead easy to work on in most respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimthedrummer Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 i had a rwa one in the same colour (blaze i think) very pretty - brings back fond memories but `interesting` handling on wet roads with those 145 tyres!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 RWA? The colour could be Blaze or Flame, it's hard to be sure in the pic. Mine was Flame, the scarlet - Post Office red, but Blaze was sort of halfway between Flame and Bronze (orange). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
