I had a call from someone who looked at this. Flew under my radar (but my radar is off at the minute).

No room at the inn. (Plus it's not as old as Sion's brown one to merit making room at the inn )

I like that I am being the comparator for hard-core-elderly-ness here!

(...although RJ wins as he has a '76)

I'm biding my time for the RHD oldie. Just have to watch over my shoulder for Hell Driver

I'm unlikely to take on any more at the moment, I'm struggling to get on with the Mk1 I've got already! It would have to be a 'brown' interior 76 or 77 car for me to even consider another car, and for that I would reduce my collection by at least one or two cars!

I do intend getting on with the Mk 1 but I had problems last year with the transit which ended up with me doing a lot of work on it while it was off the road and getting involved with another transit (which needed some work as well) as a back up. We now have 10 different vehicles in total of which 6 have seen the road in the last 12 months or so. It all gets a bit much just keeping up with it all.

I love it. but being a Diesel It is a lot slower then the GL? How does keep up with modern traffic ? I am looking to buy a 300 at the moment.

modern traffic?! as in cameras and traffic lights every 30ft, speed humps taller than the average toddler, half as many lanes as any given area needs and oblivious lunatics cutting you up at every turn ....... my 12hp ride on mover will keep up with everyday bristol traffic

neither my vario or glt have ever felt like a liability on the roads

It's not a Diesel. It's a 1.4 petrol.
