More fun than a mini  ! I had 3 ... Such a gas . Early ones have the swage line on the tailgate and none of the red key bollocks !  Free fuel tank from fiat if it hasn't been recalled too!

I met a guy who had purchased an early 704cc 2 cylinder one, I think it was a Polish import that had found its way here. 31hp.

Well a set of plugs hasn’t fixed the cold misfire . Leads don’t look great so might just change them anyway . Or so the darkness spark test . 
Got a feeling of impending doom - landy had “ just a misfire “ ended up being cam followers , cam , cam bearings etc etc . ?

They can do OMFGHGF on the OHV, as it went on mine, but not as frequently as a FIRE.

That's an absolute honey and identical to one I had many years ago. I'll have to pop in and have a look at some point. If it's there when I drop the Rover off, I'll have a good nosey at it.

Mine did a head gasket while I had it, but easy to change. It never failed again and I knew the car for several years because I sold it to a friend's daughter.

Not long after I sold my Cinquecento S would not run any longer, turned out the girl has reversed into an earth bank and filled the tailpipe and just to make sure kinked it over as well!

Great car.
