Hours of fun watching the gap between doors n bodywork widen and narrow depending of the size of match stick you were unfortunate enough to drive over while trying to keep up with the milk float disappearing into to distance.Now the Healey 3000.........Sigh.

Re: Its all about music
Sorry Pauline, I've been kinda busy over the last few weeks making deliveries. I do wish builders would fit decent sized chimneys these days, and the soot in some of them......
Anyway at least I got to fill your stockings this christmas.

The earlier fibreglass was p*ss poor and the wings crazed over the wheel arches and yes, the doors could swing open just at an awkward moment ie as the hardtop started to go t'other way. But, the later bodies had much better fibreglass also the chassis was two railway girders not coathangers and was quite stiff. Biggest problem was 1st and reverse gears which shared a common layshaft. They would disintegrate but then it was a Triumph (Moss) box as I recall and chucking the power of that V8 through it was a bit of a bummer. The diff was a bit weak too and if you had wires the spokes got a bit slack v. quickly.
Did meet somebody who put the Daimler limo 4ltr (?) V8 in one, not sure if he lived tho..
With copper tube open exhausts though........ glorious noise of that V8 reverberating off tunnel walls, particularly Blackwell Tunnel sticks in the memory. She'd do 30, 60, 90 and 120 through the gears. I had 2, one after the other 82HLK & 450PVT were the registrations. The only cars I can remember their registration numbers. 82HLK went through a fence post and was scrapped, I think, but never heard more of 450PVT (all 1968-9)
