Thanks man,
I think it's a 1980 car with a 81 UK "year reg"...
It does have carbs and the chassis number is right for a carbed car.
Regards
Gavin

>> 4 days from finding it to taking it....
>>
>> Happy??  YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!

>> The add for the car reads....

>> Can't wait now to get it all paid for and on it's way to New Zealand!!!
