I went to see this 2B, but he wanted a hundred quid for it.

So I have learn't something today.
I wasn't aware there were 2A FCs!
I knew it was a 109".

The 9000 2.3 turbo was also a nice car.

I had an 'Aero' 9000 turbo as a company car, fantastic performance, and all round decent car. But I was glad the company were the people forking out for the (mostly front) tyres as they didn't seem to live too long.

When ? 1975 ?

 

[graffian]

Not exactly sure when I looked at it.
Rough guess 1998.
It was after pentium2s came out and before pentium3s!

I used to own one of these Riley Pathfinder's with a really strange gearshift

 

[DennisCA]

That might be the more natural place for me to look for the gear shift actually, since I am used to left hand drive cars.

You have to be very cautious of the family jewels when sliding in and out of the seat.

Yeah, I'd have another one, although I dare say the improvements I made to it would be nothing like as cheap today (R100 barrels, pistons, carbs).

A late 70's R80/7, nice bike, I prefer the style of the older bikes, though the twin discs are a big upgrade on my TLS drum.

I love the simplicity of it, just what a motorbike should be like. Too much BMW boxer content in this forum, an itch I'd love to scratch.
