Shes just ticked over 19700miles. Orignal and matching everything. Can not find any rust either which makes me very happy as ive never seen a rustless 1200. I know ive been hacking it out of the other sedan for months. Auto as well. Cant fault it it just runs. Although i did throw the points to the crapper and put in a electronic dizzy.

While I think it's a beautifull thing, I would change a couple of things.

1. Dual circuit brake system.
If this one is an early girl with a single circuit brake system, then just use all the stock parts from a donor car.
2. 13" wheels, up to 5-1/2" wide with 185 x 60 x 13 radial tyres for safety reasons.
Steel wheels with covers, or tastefull mags, it doesn't matter. For me it would be a safety issue. Stock 1600, 180B, or even Stanza wheels would fill the bill here.
3. Ummmmm, no, that about does it for me.

 Re: The new Grandpa stocker
Thanks guys. Im so happy with it. Its one of those cars that i can drive around in slow(cause it is) yet still enjoy every bit the same. Good for the old license.

Dodgeman i may upgrade a couple of little things that still leave it original. At the moment though it suits me fine. At recoed single master cylinder which will do 4 the time(although point taken on safety there) but the 165r12 radials are quite adequate i believe for the car.

Yeah steve you'll have to head up soon. Head for abit of a cruise through the hills while your out this way.

And for the purists im 99% sure it will stay 99% original.

Very nice.

What's the story on those wheels? Are they stock 1200 caps painted up strangely? Or are the alloy wheels of some kind?
