i bought this little seven last year with the intentions of using it to do some vintage trials. Having attended a few as a spectator i dicided i didn't want to subject the little opal to such abuse.
i've decided to enter some hero rallies which wouldn't suit the old girl. So needs must and its time to move her on to the next custodian.
it's a solid little car and mechanically sound. The body is good but could use a repaint if you wanted a show queen
the cable brakes stop in due course and you will never have to worry about speed cameras!
