Evening All
My name is Steve, some of you may know or have spoken to my Dad Terry. He has an A100 Xplorer and did have a blue A100 Pickup which ended up going back over the Atlantic?
Heres my new ride - lots of niggles to sort out including a mass of ropey lpg stuff to remove.
It had an o.g. starter which died big time on the first day of me owning it. I fitted a mcleod hi torque mini starter which works but os ON the headers. Not close but literally on the exhaust headers... investigating to be done...
peace

Really cool, is this the one that Dave Madders brought in some years ago? I haven't seen it for a long time and was hoping it wasn't sitting in someones garden going rotten, Love it!

Similar.... but not the one.
Mine was a 68 A108, pop top, slatted windows and the coolest 'Family Wagon' badge I have ever seen.
Think mine ended up with a chequered front bumper ?
