Gentlemen,
If you would like to go to my album you will see my latest toy, it followed me home today and I have already had a tinker. It is taxed and MOTed as of this morning and purrs lazily along. It will keep me busy for a while as it needs a few minor jobs doing to tidy it but I know its history as it came from my brothers partners late fathers estate. It is the 3500cc V8 the police loved and is an Auto.

Very nice Martin. Mike.H.
All that and free road tax as well!!
They used to go like s**t off a shovel, but in my vauge memory you had to be a bit tender with the gear lever, used to break off if I remember right.
Lovely cars IMO too. Without doubt the V8-S was the one to have, there's often one at my works (airport) car park that I always look at. Martin's is an auto so I don't think the selector lever will be snapping off!
Change the oil on a regular basis - the engines get cam and hydraulic lifter trouble if you neglect this.

Its an Auto, I believe that prob occurred on manuals, and for its age it still kits in the back when worked :-))
