Cruer talked of "donor cars", but there can't be to many of them, these days. My car is 1970 145 de luxe.
I'm new to 140 series, but have had 240's for yonks. Any comments on other useful mods gratefully recieved. Cheers.

I had a 1968 145S I used instead of a company car between 1998 and 2001. I was doing about 25k/year in it. I fitted a saloon diff, Overdrive box and a big valve head and cam. The head had the fuel injection ports blanked and I can’t recall the cam, I think it might have been a K series. Otherwise, it was stock. That’s another car I should never have sold.
