welcome! Car probably looks quite so red cos it's had the bumpstrips removed and the bumper mouldings colour-coded.

Brake and clutch cylinders are rubbish on these cars for some reason. The seals always seem to go, especially if they've been stood. Rockauto is probably your best bet for replacements

yes brendan also from sheffield 5
but now living in sunny kerry -haha-
its a great place to live but if you get 3 days of sun its talked about for 100 s of years
a great thing about this part of the world though is you see old cars that havent rusted too bad due to the lack of salt on roads

Howdy! thought I'd say hi considering we're neighbours, well... sort of... :P gorgeous car man! Im not far from the kerry border in glengarriff, I learned the hard way about that clutch slave cylinder issue when I had no clutch in limerick for 5 hours on the way down from sligo with mine, best of luck with your new car ;)
Kian.

I'm starting collage in cork city this september, automotive technology and engineering :)
Yeah do, That would be cool! my one is the only one I have ever really seen as they are so rare in Ireand, so it would cool to compare. Some great scenic roads to drive around here! Caha pass is a lot of fun, especially on a nice day (when they occur) to drop a gear and blast through the tunnel ;)
I'd love to go to the next irish rotary meet, have a little gang of FB's.
