somewhatfoolish Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Those dogdish hubcaps do look suspiciously BMC-like; what's the ETA so I can plan my day of eating terrible snack food and idly browsing car ads around it?

NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 In other news, some twat on eBay has listed an A40 Farina as a coupe. FFS it was bad enough when they started that with E30s and Cortinas. Anyway I can’t find the car I think it is and I’m beginning to think that was a mk2 anyway, HMC and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 That's a clean looking second attempt at 1100ing!

Re-triggered a primeval urge for me. I'm verging on almost (but not) becoming obessed with these as much as some of the Invac*r lot.

SiC Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Way better condition from first glance at looking at. Need to have a good look underneath of course as ADO16, but I might* just have bagged a bargain. Colour is not factory and possibly a bit modern. But it's a nice deep shade to my eye and I like it. It was running to get it on the trailer. Left it idling happily away but now seemed to have died. Fresh fuel in but still not wanting to stay running. Plugs messy.Cleaned these up but still refusing to rev or idle. Also topped up dashpots. Points look not too bad but will have another closer look. No fuel filter, so will pull the float bowl and see what is in there. Electric pump is ticking but unknown how well. Could do with it running as it'll make it easier to get in the garage for having a better closer look. Especially on the underside. All in all, so far, it seems to have been a good purchase!

LightBulbFun Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Oh what a lovely thing! can never have too many ADO16's around here I enjoyed your past ADO16 exploits so am looking forward to seeing how this one goes, hopefully it will see the road, I have to wondering however, given you already have the Dolly on the go how did you convince the wife to let you get another car, especially another ADO16 after she undoubtedly saw what they are at their worst! 13 minutes ago, SiC said: Colour is not factory and possibly a bit modern.
