While I was on the Lactos Rally back in February, I spoke to a guy who used to own one of these cars. From his descriptions I'd say that yes the overall performance is similar to a hot-road 1275 *but

Probably the hub seal, but could be a sign of wear on the bearing seat on the banjo or a chronically worn hub. Unless you can really easily pull out the bearing from the hub, I'd replace the seal fir
