I had better own up to this:

I have just bought a 1952 80". It has been restored, but not recently, although it is in remarkable condition. Loaded up with a bollard winch, rear PTO, governor and a cabin heater. New canvas top and upholstery. The brakes are a bit iffy, but the first problem is the carby.

A nice tidy 80! Lotsa gadgets too! She must be a bit busy under the bonnet with the governor and front winch! I must admit to having a lot of fun with my 1953 80". The heater in mine works well enough, but strangely, I can only get hot air from the AC curently! I have removed the door tops from mine. It really opens up the front seat area.
Enjoy, Mike (5380)
