vulgalour Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Those Lanchester ads are making me feel much better about ours, not that I was feeling particularly down about it in the first place. puddlethumper and outlaw118 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a trek from you mind. Its okay this one is closer although it's the wipers rather than the clutch that's pumped. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/391838532585500/ dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can lead to amusing* issues like when the passenger side wiper on mine decided to stop at the top of its sweep for a bit - the driver's side carried on going on its own for a few sweeps until the passenger side rejoined the party. I don't relish the thought of trying to chase down the cause of a total failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't relish the thought of trying to chase down the cause of a total failure. Why was that the solution ? What additional requirement, above, must clear water and ice and bird shit off as much as the screen as possible, drove such pointless complexity.

Quite a few for sale at the moment - not a particularly great steer and this one will probably need many ££'s and a large chunk of time. Frankly there are better things to do than live in the 50's...I had one years ago when they were £50 and nobody cared . The almost contemporary Audax Minx is a much better car if you fancy something from the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
