Yes when going hard around a right hander there is a rubbing noise, not sure if its front or rear and not had a chance to investigate yet. I thought at first it might be the exhaust hitting underbody but now discounted that theory as it is definitely a rubbing sound. Any Ideas???

There is a minor problem with n/s suspension? If I were still living in Isfield I would have bought this car so I am a little jealous.

Yes looks an easy fix so soon get that done. I Thought it was worth a punt as no one else seemed to be bidding on it. And I have to confess I am possibly a little bit to blame for the rarity of these cars because I used to pick them up very cheaply and drive them into the ground, scrap them and pick up another. The most I ever paid for a 33 was around £300 (till now). I am possibly responsible for the demise of 5 or 6 series 2s (including 2 sport wagons) and I also wrote off a series 3 1.5ie
