Proper jealous of this thing. I'd love to get one.

[@SmashingPistons]

@@thtmotoring I have an extensive list. 😂 I was considering selling the bike, but after a rude out today I ain't sure.

[@thtmotoring]

@@SmashingPistons haha I felt the same when I took the Spitfire out for the last time. Have already been considering adding a third car to the collection over winter 😂

Doors aren't bad 😄 . I'd probably just fiber glass those bits . Just make sure some drain holes are in place after and try to get some wax down inside door.

They weren't called the Rustin All aggro without good reason.

[@Retroprotomoto]

The fact is that they were way better at holding rust at bay than most of it's competitors. Think Vauxhall viva and Mk2 Escourt, now they were way worse.
