    Hey AL, one of your best barn find/ will it run? videos, that'll make a brilliant restoration project for someone & it actually started too! To think this 42 year old pug was only 10 years old when it was parked up! Yet by not selling it on at the time, they have actually helped to preserve it's existence!

    Al 6D Diesels, is there no vehicle on planet earth that you can’t throw a battery on and wave your spanner’s at, give a squirt of the old go go juice and it’s alive? Don’t matter it’s condition, the amount of years it’s been neglected or even if a few parts are missing guaranteed you’ll get it running. Love your knowledge on anything engine related. Keep on entertaining us with your videos.

    My dad had one of this when I was a kid, god he hated it lol it was only a few years old at the time and kept braking down, I think it was 1.6 petrol and was gutless, he used to pass everyone on a downhill section of the motorway then everyone passed us again as soon as it hit a hill. FWY 112T think it was the same colour. (I remember all the reg numbers of my dads cars as I grew up but can’t remember my own)
