Gorgeous, bit of a lack of info about it though

Jon


My thoughts as well.

If your selling a well looked after example then I'd want to tell you everything good about it, and of course the bad bits if any :y

Probably par for the course for a car of that era. Certainly one to lob triple Webers on. Sod the fuel consumption, listen to the noise. :-*

The only way I could get mine to pull  smoothly was if the colourtune set up the carbs super rich..(was that a blue or bright orange flame?...it's so long ago... :'()....but as stated earlier ....14 MPG was the outcome.. :'( :'(

Worn needles / jets in the carbs probably? Colourtunes were all very well, but having the mixture right at idle meant nothing about the mixture under load, once the SUs had a few miles under their belt.
