Bore wear, engine wear.

[Bob Culver]

The car had been rebored at 40,000 so presumably early wear was similarly considerable. Car has the token export filter and whilst these are impacted by a lot of dust from the fan dunno how much would have been swallowed without it. Some claim such filters merely meter out the dust. Really need a shield. Car was driven extensively on metal but there was little traffic and did not get into the fast protracted close following which occurs now, and is the bane of the more interesting club runs.
It is ironic that in the late 1920s when almost all out of town roads here were unsealed, all cars had open up draught carbs drawing from low down.
