Go for it! I'm intrigued thought it was just me being faddy! When we had the cavs i'd never driven rear wheel drive so that may have something to do with it, didnt know any different!!

Yes they are. I've allways wanted one & this came for the right price. SD1's have risen in price over the last few years & that's my plan for the Coupe. Not to mak e a profit, just to have something unusual that will increase in value. (i hope) :-/
-
I don't hate Veccies but they leave me cold, no input, nothing. Can't explain it. Loved Cavaliers though, cracking motors.
Makes no sense i know. :-?
-
MV6, the tractor, and the Rover...
-
I've recently bought a 2.6 miggy. And I still own a 1973 Triumph Toledo. This was the first car I ever owned and I'm now presently nursing it back to health. :y
:-* :-* :-* :-*

Debs` "fleet":
Miggy Estate (for road use) and (only off-road); a Series III Landy and a John Deere tractor. ;)

The only weak point is the bearing cage on the gear box which wears making it whine. The T series engine is reasonbly robust so it should last you a fair few years. :y

My sunny sunday car is this 1972 series 3 V12 E-type. Always loved them. Never thought I'd be in a position to own one but 3 years ago I bought this one thinking it was all sorted but how wrong was I? My wife has no idea what I have had to spend on this car. Thankfully she has never asked. Blisteriing performance - in a straight line even by modern car standards. But terrifying round bends and truly unbelievable fuel consumption. I swear I can see the fuel needle drop under hard accelaeration. Sounds fabulous though when gunning it and it always draws a crowd!
Wife has a 2004 Laguna 1.9 Initiale which I bought on eBay last year All the toys and 48 miles per gallon. This is the car we use all the time.
My Meega is on light duties now. 176K and 8 years old I use it only when I have to. Still scrubs up well though and drives a dream but is thirsty compared to the Laguna

I know some purists prefer the looks of the early 3.8 and 4.2 straight 6 E-types.Personally I prefer the V12.The wheels seem to fill the arches better. Is yours 4 speed manual or 3 speed auto?
-
59,60 sedan devilles,73 eldorado convertible.2000 sts.

Yes. I prefer the wider look of the series 3 too. Mine is the 4 speed box.
