(engine and transmission were out of the car) THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD IN OVER TWENTY YEARS, AFTER ASSEMBLY I DID DRIVE IT FOR APPROX 10 MILES, THE REAR END SOUNDS NICE (NO LOUD NOISES) AND THE TRANSMISSION RUNS AND SOUNDS VERY NICE. THIS IS A NON SYNCHROMESH 1 ST GEAR TRANSMISSION ,,,,,,THE ENGINE SOUNDS NICE, NO LOUD NOISES , NO BEARING NOISES,, NO SMOKING ,,, THE STEERING IS VERY NICE AND TIGHT,,, AND THE SUSPENSION IS NICE. I REPLACED THE RADIUS ARM ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE (forty dollar item) AND IT NEEDS ONE FOR THE LEFT, IT WAS BACK-ORDERED WHEN I ORDERED THE RIGHT ONE. THIS CAR HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL ALL METAL BODY, VERY ORIGINAL, THIS IS A UNIQUE MODEL , NO EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES , DISC BRAKES IN THE FRONT ,QUARTER ELIPTICAL REAR SUSPENSION (HALF LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION) THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION,,,, CURRENTLY THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS REBUILT, ( I HAVE A REBUILD KIT FOR IT) ,,,,,BUT IDEALLY THIS CAR NEEDS THE BRAKE SYSTEM SWITCHED TO THE LATER TYPE WHERE THE BRAKE CYLINDER IS SPLIT,,,,, SEPERATE FRONT AND REAR CYLINDERS WHICH WAS AVAILABLE ON THE LATER MODEL MIDGETS ,,,,,,,JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, THE PICTURES WILL TELL THIS CAR'S STORY, THERE IS NO BUBBLING BODYWORK ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR, THERE WAS ONE PAINT JOB IN 47 YEARS ,,,,,THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS BRIGHT WHITE (as evidence of the engine compartment color ) THE COLOR NOW IS OLD ENGLISH WHITE, THIS WAS PAINTED SOMETIME IN THE EIGHTIES, I HAVE THE COLOR CODE FOR THE OLD ENGLISH WHITE. THE INTERIOR IS VERY NICE,,,,, AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS A FRENCH MADE LACARRERA.
