CP26309 Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 My car is 53 years old today, so I took out for a spin and got it up 5,000 rpm in (non O/D) top. Not something it has done for quite some time. Ran perfectly too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mk2 Chopper Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 What's the story with the '70 model year plate? A delayed/ late registration in August '69? Congrats Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CP26309 Posted May 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'll let you work it out Tim! And Gareth yes that's what dealers did back then, holding cars back to get a newer years license plate and sell at the 70 price not the 69 one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll currently have to settle with my 1970 '6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old speedo needle waivers about a lot! (so who knows?) actually my handbook gives the mph per 1,000 rpm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Self incriminating should not be requested. Speed at 5000rpm depend on gear ratio m'lud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
