Cheer up, the early ones supposed to have more horses.

Would be if you can get it but you can't earn no claims on a classic policy and you will end up with no bonus at all if you use classic for 2 yrs running.

Many classic policies have moved the goal post to 18-20yrs.

On a recent erm, 'enthusiastic' burn up the M1 KC did seem to have a slight edge on me (mind you, might just be 'cos he needs to eat a bit more!!)

Had a look at my chassis number. Looks like Feb 95 - a real oldie. Looking good for 13 year old car. First registered in the UK in 1998.

thanks kc smashing
i think i have found my b twin by the did do you have Lucas brakes mine does.i have been told these on came on the early one any body else heard this

 

[nicholasb]

Doubt you need these pics but here you go anyway. Love that blue engine paint. I want it on mine.

 

[LittleRedB]

Blue paint is an easy job and only costs about £10!! You need a can of engine de-greaser and an abrasive cloth to clean the cover and then a can of Halfrauds high temperature engine paint and somewhere dry and dust free to give it a couple of coats of paint - job done!!
