I'm all for being different and all that, but how is it going to pass it's next MOT with all that rust?  :undecided: Surely in the next year or two it'll be rotted completely?  :cry:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

put some chrome bumpers on it and take off the roof rack/beaded seat covers and it would look ok :afro:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I really like that for some reason, think it would be better with small bumpers however  :cool:

Same.............. I think... I do worry for its long term health though.  how do you care for a car like that?  looks like it could have been mint.  interior is very tidy.

God only knows, at the moment it is service rust, guess you would need to keep it garaged.
