Description
More than a cosmetic restoration, The braking system has been totally recommissioned, with new old stock brake linings, although only acting on the rear axle only has both external contracting brakes (for the foot brake) and internal contracting brakes (for the hand brake or emergency brake!) It is not difficult to lock the wheels under heavy braking. The steering box and column have been totally dismantled, rebuilt with new bearings and a new outer column. The steering is very direct and surprisingly light for the age and size of the vehicle. The Radiator has had a new core and consequently the car happily sits in stationary traffic without boiling or even getting unduly hot. The engine has been totally rebuilt with remetalled main bearings and big ends , has new pistons and rings, head and block faces have been skimmed. The engine has been professionally balanced having a new lighter flywheel which incorporates a crankshaft damper to aid the smoothness of the engine.
