This is a Brilliant little Midget that will long outlast others, We have tested this on back roads, and motorway, and for both scenarios the car runs like a dream. Sits at 70mph at 4k rpm sweet as a nut. All the rust work has been fully cut and patch welded. I genuinely don't think i've seen a neater example for a very usable classic.
The custom sports exhaust has a beautiful note and due to the performance tuning of the engine has some great pops and burbles on overrun. If you are going to use this daily or as a weekend pub runner it'll be perfect!
