CRL was an ebay special. I won it for about £250 from memory and it was located in Sterling. We decided to take the train up there and then drive up to Dundee to visit my brother in law.
I don't do public transport and felt ill for most of the journey.. When we got there the vendor met us at the station, a few details changed hands and we were off..
First impressions were not bad, it looked solid enugh, ran very well and drove ok. There was a throb from the transmission at speed though.
I took stock when I got to dundee and found that the front and rear tyres were different sizes. So next day a new pair were on and I was £50 lighter!!!
I also discoverd no Air filter!
We did a few shows over the summer, and did some mileage! She was a good comftble car. She did steam up lots but the 4x4 was fantastic.
At MOT time she failed on corroded floorpans, that took a few days of welding to sort but eventualy she passed :)
But as winter drew in funny noises were comming from the front end on motorways and I eventualy sold it on. The new owner replaced the wheel bearings which fixed that!!!
I did get to see her again when another club member brought her back to collect a turbo kit.
She looks quite good in the photo above and I realy did quite like her.
