Looks a lovely car, won't take long to shift. I love that colour.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to go away for a few days. The car is driveable and after exchanging information with another member it may not be a clutch problem. The problem is a difficulty in selecting first gear when the engine is switched on. When the engine is off you can select first gear and the car then drives OK.

A member has asked to view it this weekend and depending on what happens it will either be sold or I will take a second opinion and update the forum.

Hi

Is this car gone or still available? Is there any news on whether the clutch needs replacing or not?

Thanks

Thanks. I'll get some quotes from local garages plus one or two of the traders on the forum.

The reason I asked is that the clutch on my own car has started to slip from time to time.

Did you sort the car or have you decided to sell it in the end?.
