Sometime in the 80's I almost bought a Hustler. It was plywood with the large sliding glass doors but used the 1800 (B Series) engine and box. It had six wheels and I absolutely loved it - but then, I love anything that looks different or is different. I didn't buy it because when I looked underneath the sub frames were as written as a pair - and I needed something to use then - not as a restoration project.
HOWEVER! Wish I had bought the thing now! Read more
I had one of these; it was an ex French private ambulance with high roof. I converted the rear into a mini camping-car and used it to escort abnormal loads, mainly in France. It was a wonderful vehicle, very reliable & well-known in the business, including lots of French police (for the right reasons!).
On the odd occasion it needed unexpected work, French Citroën dealers could not have been more helpful & prices were very reasonable. I was sorry when it died: nineteen years old! Read more
Beware of dealer rackets - There have been several well-documented cases of an imported car dealer manipulating the import documentation. In case the long arms of law catch up, it is the owner (and not the dealer) who is liable to pay duties, taxes and fines. Read more
Just so you all know my experience of using Autobox Logistics Ltd Essex which is carshippingmadesimple website part of Cargo Marketing Ltd. I drove to their shipping associate warehouse in Houston end of Jan 2018. They said it would be in Southampton in a month. After chasing and chasing it turned up in Felixstowe three months later. I was not happy and persuaded them to transport by truck to me in Devon at a subsided cost. I paid half, another £250 to swallow. It was left in the rain at Felixstowe and water had got in soaking carpet and seats and trim. It had been driven hard in reverse it looks like and damaged the underneath behind the rear axle inc fuel tank and twin exhausts and the bottom of both rear wings. Its a fully restore american classic. It has been 51 days since and still not repaired and they just ignore you as a customer and give the impression they don't care. Very very poor customer service. Very nice when booking though. I cannot recommend this set up at all.
That 12 seconds should, I think, be 6.0 seconds.

MG Maestro Turbo, the fastest FWD car car at the time (1989) I owned one for 5 years and in that time only one car got past me and that was a Rover 620 Turbo, possibly the most underrated car ever
