164 reappearance. - Page 2

Hello Paul- beige? Remember a photo of an early white 164 you sent me- looked good in white too; one of the few cars big enough to do so. No, mines an auto; good and bad, makes it a pleasure to drive around town and in heavy traffic, at certain 'ahem' speeds it is rather flogging the engine though. Contrary to perceived wisdom (particulary amongst Stag owners) I find the BW35 is smooth changing and kicks down well, if its allowed to warm up properly.

Well I think I'll be keeping her now. I just can't bring myself to part with her.
Plus the amount of interest I've had from banger racers makes me want to keep her even more.

Hopefully I can sell some of my other cars before the 164 and get back to welding her once my garage has been built.

Thanks for the interest though chaps

p.s I would also love a Tagora

Almost

Should be on the road within the next 2-3 weeks, maybe sooner.

Then my focus will be back on the 164.
