Very smart - with (for me) the right amount of bling. Cool

Lovely looking Herald, love the white walls on it.

I had a Mk1 2l Vitesse for years hence my username. It had a swing spring on the back but I had to get rid of it, it was so unpredictable at times going around bends at speed. The rear wheels wouldn't do the fold in thing but just had a mind of their own.

I remember once going up a dual carriageway at speed and there was a huge bump in the road and the back became light and it landed with the wheels in a totally different camber and fish tailed like mad, got a real tank slapper on. I managed to control it but it nearly gave me a heart attack.

Love the Triumph straight six, just oddles of torque.

Yeah rtj proper driving. I love older cars but when you get in a modern car and just point it in the right and squeeze the pedal it seems so easy.

Problem is you have to relax a bit as you get older. I am convinced that you must be a better driver than someone who has never experienced driving a car pre 1970.
