    Well I’m British and drink way too much wine but I’m sure we can find some common ground [emoji237]
    I like British cars too [emoji4]

    I've always enjoyed the British cars , I've got 3 x with the same spec engines/carbs and all 3 are different on startup and the technique required to fire them up.

    This one I don't use the choke ,instead place a rag over the air intake and start ,as this model is a pain if you blacken a spark plug on startup its a long day to replace plugs..

    Not at 12mpg .

    For such a fab highway car the range is about 250 miles ,odd for a long distance driving car.

    Mind you they suck a lot of fuel at speed.

    It’s fabulous, I’m a big Bentley/ RR fan, I was fortunate enough to have a look at a very well restored S2 continental last week, part of a collection that included a similar Car to yours, a Hispano suiza junior and a Ferrari 250, unfortunately the gentleman’s Bugatti type 57 was away getting restored but a real treat nevertheless [emoji237]
    Thanks for the post Arvin[emoji120]
