I've just watched it and come here to tell all but you beat me to it. It's a nice one isn't it. 👍😊

What a lucky new owner. The history from the previous owner was just superb and is like stepping back in time. Fantastic car as well.

Watched that with a huge smile on my face. What a car and story.

Better than any fancy super/hyper car.

Not sure but is brynmusselwhite on Instagram if you want to follow him there. He use to write for a couple of car mags, not sure if he still does.

I commented to a friend who emailed the YT link to me not long after I'd viewed it and I'd made the first post here. He's owned Amazons and 140's. I said that in the video it was mentioned that the new owner was going to use it as a daily driver. My comment to that was, I hope he's not a painter and decorator!
Jonny Smith lives in the south east I think, and this car has a Kent, TKR, registration, so I might see it around in the future. Covid permitting of course.

Absolutely. An those gorgeous fold out rear seats, with the chrome bars. 30 yrs, an it fired right up ( 'spec they cleaned points an that). Mine did same, astonishing, an ticked over steadily. Doesn't matter that some valves have stood open for yonks?! Had a go at starting a suzuki that had stood for 10 yrs, took day an half before fired.
