Thank you Baxter for your kind words.
We have now driven this nice car some 200 kilometers and it runs very well on the road. It´s no problem to keep up with normal traffic rythm although it would be nice with an overdrive since the revs of course are a bit high compared to modern cars. The engine runs very well and the handling is fast and agile.
There was however one problem, a rather loud whining sound from the gearbox when in second gear. We thought it was too much and removed the gearbox and took it apart for inspection. The only thing that was obvious was that the thrust washer between first and second gear was in pieces. We don´t know if this is the problem but we have ordered a new washer and a rebuild kit which will arrive next week. Let´s hope it will do the trick so we can run a few more kilometers before the winter.
We will keep the car over the winter and when spring comes do many more trips and perhaps one of us will keep it. It is a very nice looking car, especially the Mk1, right Baxter?
