What about one of these. Always fancied one, there used to be a couple in Bournemouth, but didn´t have the bottle to buy one

Thats nice.

Yeah, its alright. The door is fixed apparantly I haven't tried it yet though.
It has been rendered today and looks really good. I'll post a pic at the weekend if you are interested.

The Marina is out of theatre now and is much nicer to drive now. The 75 is now in theatre having the thermostat replaced. That is not a nice job. Still, it could be worse, I could be doing it on the drive.

Never actually been in one but the motor and the look of it always inticed. This one has only done 20.000 miles. Tempted but the Lightweight Landrover wins

NSU of course was bought up by VW/Audi. I think the RO 80 was the last car with the NSU logo.

Get a few pics up so that we can see. And for future ref. if the thing cracks or whatever in the near future.. Glad you´ve got a decent garage now as it makes life a lot easier

Replaced the carb for a recon one today on the P4 and shock horror.. There are little air bubbles under the paint on the osr door.

LOL..

That car is bloomin fantastic, I use it every day and even in the sub zero temps it ran faultlessly, great heater, great starter, I can't speak highly enough of it. And it runs forever on a tenner of petrol!
The fact it doesn't mind being outside is probably because its mainly filler.

Ah !! Now I understand. Filler, EH !!
I had visions of you coming back to find only a heap of rust after the snow had melted. Lol.

Happy motoring. Colvert.

Back in 1980/81 I owned a 1973 1.3 coupe in white. Could never solve the clutch judder each time I moved off, but I loved it. It was incredibly reliable.

The crankcase breather pipe used to get blocked. The resultant build up of pressure used to force the oil out past the rear main bearing seal and into the clutch. The oil which then got onto the clutch driven plate used to give you that judder as you moved off.

Mind you, it's a bit late to tell you that now I suppose. Lol
