Yeah it's an extra grip on the bonnet, an old, dried out, yellowing, brittle, museum piece tyre.
Seeing as I've got Michelin XZL tyres all around, that relic of a bonnet tyre is on the list for re ... |

Yes the Fairey overdrive sings a bit, but it's only a short distance car for us so no problem really. It's perfectly pleasant at 40-50mph, ... |

What was the connection with the series 1? I remember a 109 2A (with a tilt) taking a starring role in the film, but no S1.
Was the S1 their actual vehicle, rather than their film vehicle? |
