Re: The madness continues...

Hi there,

Re: The madness continues...

I loved my Zephyr. At idle, it sounded like two Harley Davidsons. Potato, potato and it went like a rocket too. Not so much off the line, it had a steep first gear, but once you were rolling, gobs of torque.

Re: The madness continues...

Agreed. I have Hagerty on my Minor and XJ6 and that comes with free towing, so no worries. Also back in the day in the old country Webers had a terrible rep for not staying in tune. My MK1 Zephyr had triple Webers and I did not need to touch them in 7 years of ownership, so I wonder if that fear was...

Re: The madness continues...

Re: The madness continues...

I wouldn't go with the panel idea because I like real long roofs. I also loved my 302 Cortinas because they were so simple. Even with a 3.00 rear it would smoke virtually everything from a light. The thing I liked about it was that the boy racers would be revving away to get a good launch and I woul...
