Granted not a huge amount past 50, speedo looked a bit past that though!

I agree, the car felt sloppy from the passenger seat

Yeah, it gets quicker the faster you go. There's definitely a lot of work to be done on it before its right...both in terms of the engine and other mechanicals. To be fair, the car was in such a state when we started that there's a lot of catch-up to be done. We'll get there...nothing is that complex or costly. First step: all lower balljoints and bushes. Second step: rebuilt struts. Oh, and the shift linkage needs re-welding, too. And there's more...

cheers
