Wouldn't dare take it for a spin, but thanks for the offer 
I work across the road from that Petrol station in the large mirror glassed building, first time I've seen you around, but see plenty of great
looking bugs in the area daily

No probs, it would have been difficult (or is that costly?) getting them to the UK anyway! |

They're actually quite difficult to find now, plus I like what Alan did to the outer rim. |

Craig, you actually thinking of selling?
Mate decided against it, wants something more modern. Whats he thinking!
But looking back over this, well got me interested.
Thought I'd ask!

Yep still having a blast with it  ..................its holding up
really well re "ageing" and it still turns heads everywhere I go.....a credit to your work 
I drive it 200-300k's per week, so its certainly still getting used

I have now replaced the 'Redline' linkage and airfilter kit with CB aluminium top and bottoms, and have also installed the CSP centre mount
linkage......what a great linkage system !

I LOVE the linkage.......cleans up the engine bay, is very well made, and gives 100% synchronisation of the carbs through the complete throttle
range........and they stay synchronised !
Its well worth the $$
