400,000 miles +

I can only concur with every sentiment. The cars love to be driven, I love to drive - a perfect match. He's also very lucky with the drier climate :bigrin:

I noticed a link at the end of the above video to a familiar looking Series 1 FHC restoration project.

It's Yves Lataud's car... viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7470



As you can see it has been posted on YouTube by 'H&M Garage'. Have they just lifted pictures posted on http://forums.motorlegend.com/vb/showthread.php?t=42659 and put them to music and does Yves know it is there?

So much better when you've got decent weather to take the thing out in :bigrin:

We will swop some of your rain anytime ! We are suffering a serious drought here in Cape Town at the moment and strict water restrictions invoked including no washing of motor vehicles using municipal water.

It's incredible..... who has taken all my photos on the forum ? and what is their intention ? may be they prepare a file to put on internet a advertisement for selling a wonderfull old car ? I am very angry at that :cussing:
