Somewhat ambitious on the price, methinks!

Nice looking car that but rather pricey.
Still getting rare.

That went towards the GT

Don't like them wheel trims anyway and looks to have the old suitcase engine (noisy gears as in engine sump or summat), shame as you don't see RE's much. Pricey indeed!

Nice of you to think of me though Mick!

I quite like that car, i'm sure a decent offer would secure it. Never driven the suitcase engine model, apart from it being a bit noisier, is there anything else thats not to like?

The gearbox on the one I drove was rather sloppy, manual choke though and they go OK, I would get a leter TU though, as the early ones sound like a Talbot Samba

Is that a way of saying its got character or does that mean they are sxit in comparison to the tu lumps?

It just makes the feel an older car than it is in my opinion
With the way it drives.

A lot of talk about noise. A 19D takes some beating in that dept.!

Looks like a lovely old bus to me - bit pricey mind you. I'd quite like that 'old car' feel. I'd get myself a pair of string back gloves and a wicker picnic hamper and think; 'Here I am doing "motoring" like in the olden days.' Infact, if you look at that picture of the engine bay you get a free jar of home made chutney by the look of it - yummy!

Lol thats the radiator expansion bottle! The TU cars drive much better and are easier to get bits for.
