It starts on the button and tick’s over nicely. It’s been stored inside for years. Obviously there bumps and scrapes but it’s all patia for me with truck, it’s all part of it. Only bad bit is every now again it jumps out of 1st gear but it’s not a problem, just hold the stick until you select 2nd then your off. Like I say it only happens now and again. I have been advised it’s just a spring in the top of the box. It’s Common problem and it’s super cheap and easy to fix. I Just haven’t done it because it doesn’t bother me with the I drive it.
Made contact with the series 2club. Apparently it’s a very motor as in there was only ever 360 lwb Petrols made for the home market in 1958 they have records of 13 vehicles 2 of which are in Australia. So this will the 14th recorded.
