I had a Mk1 Cav 1.6L (which also came from Bedford funnily enough) and I don't recall that being particularly undergeared, at least not by the standards of the time. It certainly wasn't screaming its knackers off at 60 like the Viva was. MisterH and Burnside 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty under geared, but once you get used to the "skeleton wanking in a metal filing cabinet" soundtrack, you realise that you're not actually thrashing the thing all that hard .

Not sure eloquent is the right word, but very memorably put, and actually quite informative. I don't think you'd hear even Clarkson trying to get away with that one...

I have accumulated a few*. In rural Ireland, house keys used to be sold like that. I've not heard of pre-cut house keys, but the Wilmot Breeden ones were used on garages as well as cars. My parents garage had a lock that used one of the FS keys. I remember seeing a stall at the Tatton Park Autojumble which had a rack of Wilmot Breeden keys. When I was into collecting keys I managed to get a few Wilmot Breeden ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
