Hi Team

I am very excited that I will be visiting Solihull from Australia next week as part of a UK/Germnay trip with 2 of my adult sons.

Welcome Shane. The weather in Oz is considerably better than a wet cold February here.
Original engine or did the military use Holden engines?


Still has the original engine - although when I bought it the carb was an old Stromberg of an old Holden. It was leaking and thirsty so has been ...
