There used to be quite a few road race sidecars fitted with Hillman Imp engines because they were easy to tune well and very compact.

I returned to find it boiling over and pissing out coolant. Topping it back up with tap water...

My brand new one (on an N plate) was utter dog shit though.

We had several 2.5 Vectras on our fleet at work, including a couple of SRi"s. One had been "robbed" of its Irmscher rear box, as a standard exhaust had been fitted. No mention of it in the service book or receipts, so expect a co-workers 1.8 Club had a fancy exhaust fitted to it.

What’s that? :lol: No CBT for me, as took my test in 1976 in Colchester, and just rode round the block twice like you My advanced test was in 2000 and was six weeks long, taking place in North Wal...
