Makes me miss mine, I put a 1275 A+ Metro engine in, a Copper pulled me over as he had trouble keeping up with me up a really steep hill, was Applejack Green with a Dark Bronze Roof, got written off while parked, woman had sun in her eyes and didn't see the car, silly bint was taking kids to school and didn't think to slow down when blinded by sun.
excellent vid guys, I have another car with as much Character now, but its an unpractical 2seater, Clubman estate, most practical car I ever had :-)
@CrustyBiker Thanks for the comment, took it for a drive this weekend and am already hooked again:) Under the bonnet is a thirteen-eighty, so hills are not a problem either;)
@gnewsch Yep a 1380 will defo do the trick alright!! I had the 3 dial speedo too, I found a 1275 GT in the scrappy once and had to have em, The mileage then showed the rough mileage of the engine (55000) rather than the car which had done a fair bit more... bet these are so rare to find in scrappies now for parts?
@behenjamin thanks for the hint. it may just be a mistake we made hooking it up without passing through the voltage regulator, but once that is fixed and if it's still acting weird, we can have a closer look at the coil.

The rev counter bouncing like that can mean coil faliure in the near future, nice car though, I like it!
