Four speed + overdrive box (M41 if memory serves) and i can't remember if you could use OD on 3rd as well as 4th, if so that would give 6 forward speeds, if not then it's still 5 forward speeds. All powered by a B18B twin carb engine which i think was about 110-115bhp (dredging the memory cell now, might be adrift on that) and probably retro-cool enough for your lad without be a John Virgo waistcoat! (aka a "No dad!")
Handlebars on the correct side which is a bonus too!  |
What a nice car Dave - it is such a pity about the glass sunroof - the 1980s were a strange time fashion wise :-)
PS. Perhaps I was being a bit hasty about that PV544 whim - I did like the look of the car, but I've never even seen one up close, never mind driven one. The chaps in the PV section of the forum were incredibly helpful, and I'm still thinking about a 544, but I should do some research first.
PPS. I think an Amazon would receive an equally unfavourable reception from Dan - he wants me to buy a McLaren 570.
