A LWB will not do - so you can use my SWB SW if you rebuild it for me.

Hi Mark

Been having a few teething issues with my 80" but its fun to drive, the local kids tell me "its a cool little car"

You have the 3 seater top on your 86" I see. Have you done many miles in it yet ?

Not a lot , I had to do the inlet valves and rockers , and have some electrical issues to sort out.... not firing on one cylinder .... just been to cold for my arthritic hands at the moment....but I've got a new dizzy cap and leads to fit witch should sort it
.... I've had a fair few of the local kids pulling up on. There bikes while I've been working on it to drool over it to lol
