Typical more horse power that the chassis can handle and no brain power to understand that you bought something that is totally useless and indeed as in previous comments will depreciate like the chopper mania we had in the past. ... View more

It would be a choice between the Lotus and the Wagoneer, parts for the Lotus are not expensive at all as mentioned by some other contributors, they use a mix off parts from the popular British sports cars, the Wagoneer is more old fashion in its design and that attracts me as well, it will be less economical the run but you can use it year round if you want. ...

My choice would be the Aston Martin, what a very nice station wagon. ... View more

This is the same as a bad joke, first off all is that you buy original SU parts and not cheap aftermarket parts, second, the most important part by an SU carburettor is checking the play in the throttle shaft, they are constant vacuum carbs and therefore you don't want to suck false air through a warn out throttle shaft or throttle shaft bushings. This guy doesn't show that he checked these parts, all he does is shine up the parts fit some new gaskets doesn't check the float height either or the centralization of the jet and call it a restored carburettor set, pretty obvious that he has no idea at all what he is doing. I would recommend to the people that watch this extremely bad "restoration episode" to forget it as fast as possible, the same as a bad dream don't think aboit it anymore. ... View more

I think that this creation is an insult towards the original version and as usual the HP figures are probably on the very optimistic side. The only way to find out is put to the test. ... View more

This is for all the people with negative comments about these three very nice looking vehicles, if you want to play with the big boys be prepared to be the price. These cars are made for drivers and not for the average poser that can not afford the cost of proper maintenance and start the work on it himself with cheap parts from ebay and than start to cry when he runs in trouble, blame it on the car and of course Lucas. ...

As a shop owner I know the problems but the shop owners themselves are debit to this problem as well, I pay my mechanics good wages, benefits, parts at cost price, etc, etc, one retired a couple years ago but he was with me for 15 years and right now I have another one that is with me for 16 years. I trained this person myself and if you know that it is the one with the right attitude tread him with respect give him some sort of responsibility and it all will work out. ... View more

Land Rover made a big mistake with this contraption calling it a Defender, what they should have done redesign the old Defender so that it could be manufactured more economical but keep the trusted look that everyone in the world recognize and they would have had a winner. ... View more

In my opinion the person that will pay that much money for the Mopar product is 100% braindead, they don't have any style, they are complete useless, however they are the perfect target for a banger race. ... View more

This is the reaction you always here from the people that owned a British car but they are to stupid or ignorant to understand that you have to maintain your vehicle and with that I don't mean an oil change ones a year, and if you use the proper electrical connectors than you will not have any problems with Lucas at all.   ...

The Wankel engine was closer related to NSU, they used it in their 1964-1967 Spider and I belief also in the coupe version. It was later used in the RO80 which was a very nice looking car for it's day but not very reliable engine wise, the amount of warranty claims killed the company and at that time Mazda bought the rights to build the engine. ...
