Early MK1 at Malcolm's

Post by Mothman »

This popped in whilst Malcolm was working on my TZD this afternoon. One of the earliest MK 1s into the country, a 1.6 petrol with over heating problems. Bit rough[understatement] but still running with an mot and lots of welded patches. Hopefully sorted.

It probably started off dark blue. That's 30 years of sunlight and not being polished :wink:

This was at Malcolm's when I visited last year. It is indeed a top shed!
