 Re: hope its ok to ask the what's it worth question MATTT wrote: Ive been told 2 different things,the early cars are more sought after,and they are less popular than the later disc braked cars !  Yeah, thought that would be the case. A lot of people will tell you that a disc brake D0lly is the best car to have and to avoid the earlier drum brake cars however a small but enthusiastic bunch will tell you a pre 77 drummer is the only way to go. Each to their own.

Also the the handbrake is ace too... Waaaaayyyy better then those pastilles at the disk brakes... Only downside at drums is the Dot brake fluid**.. I did never try Dot 5 however.... **Dot fluid makes the brake-cilinders rusty and stuck.

But wear like fook and are a bastard to change......give me a disc braked box any day - 5 mins to change pads and if the handbrake is carefully set up is very effective - most people don't get them flush to the disc so they only contact on the very edge = shite braking power!

When are you going to start a thread on your car, Jamie?

When are you going to start a thread on your car, Jamie? I'll get round to it. You may have seen it elsewhere before though. It's this one...
