[quote="Richard H"]I bought this on a bit of a whim last week! I got it from a friend of mine, who bought it last year from the family of the deceased original owner. It's in very good condition for an FE Victor, never been welded which is amazing for one of these!
So far I've sorted the knocking exhaust, changed the leaking rocker cover gasket for a new one, sorted out the faulty thermostat and temperature sender, changed a split steering rack boot and fitted the new tyres that came with it. I also sorted out a bad misfire quite quickly, that was just the condenser that hadn't been plugged in properly following a service!

Lucky you! Probably unique in that condition.

The Vauxhall passed its MoT with no advisories last week! The tester commented on the amazing condition of the underside Cool
