Rewired our 16 with an Autosparks loom in 1993, at that time they hadn't made a 16 loom but had made 10 and 12 hp P2 looms.

After almost 30 years our tank is still leak-free This company as you may know disappeared for a time but Frost Automotive do retail some of their pr...

Pity the spark plugs had been out for so long but Skye's dampness...

I drove like an old movie actir in old films with the steering wheel moving to take account of the cars r...
