Not a bad idea at all, I've got an old 6.3 Litre Jensen(Chrysler) V8 in the
garage so there may be a use for that old 13/60 Estate of mine after all, Hows
a 63/330 Herald Estate sound......:-)
Anyone any idea's about free wheeling hubs on the front for when 2WD only is
needed?
What do ya' reckon Terriann, it'd be an alternative to them old Land Rovers you
seem to like :-)
Still don't think it would beat my friends 100 inch Discovery based 3.9 V8 Land
Rover Trialler(sp) though!!!!!
Ooops, sorry, this is a Triumph list ain't it(I've been flamed in the past for
going off subject, ie women, wouldn't dare do it again) ;-)
