THIS HAS NO MAJOR MECHANICAL FAULTS AND IS READY FOR SALE WITHIN A DAY OF ITS EPIC DRIVE ACROSS EUROPE. YES. ITS THAT GOOD AND HONEST. NEW 14TH SEPTEMBER 1977 IN THE SPANISH DISTRICT OF JAEN. NOT A RICH AREA. PEOPLE WORK HARD AND SAVE FOR NICE THINGS. THIS MUST OF BEEN A BIG PURCHASE WHEN NEW. JAEN DOES NOT USE ROAD SALT. CANT AFFORD IT AND DOES NOT USE IT. IMPORTANT. THIS IS WHY THE CHASSIS IS LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD. ITS NEVER BEEN WELDED NOR DOES IT REQUIRE ANY THAT WE CAN SEE. THE PANELS ARE ALL ORIGINAL. THE FENDERS ALLOY. SO THE DENTS COULD BE DOLLIED OUT. RETAINING ORIGINAL PANEL FIT. WILL UPDATE PHOTOS SOON AS WE CAN. PHOTOS TAKEN TODAY JUST BEFORE DARK. STILL HAVE ALL THE BAGS ETC IN THE REAR SO WILL HOOF THEM OUT FOR MORE PHOTOS TOMORROW.

RESPONSIVE AND READY TO TAKE ON THE BIG DOGS. AS LONG AS THE BIG DOGS DO NO MORE THAN 50 MPH. IF YOU GET THIS STUCK IN THE WOODS. OR SNOW. IF YOU MANAGE IT. YOU NEED TO BUY A HORSE OE PACK OF DOGS. ONE THING I DID NOTICE TODAY ON UK ROADS. THIS WOULD PULL A HIGHER TYRE FOR SURE. NICE POWER BAND SO WOULD NOT STRUGGLE WITH BIGGER WHEELS AND TYRES. SOME WONT PULL THE BIG TYRES. THIS CERTAINLY WOULD. HOPE THIS ALL HELPS. WE ARE STILL KEEN AFTER MANY YEARS OF EFFORT. SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HONEST VEHICLES. MIGHT NOT BE A SHOW WINNER. BUT CERTAINLY A KEEPER.
