It looks a bit too civilised. I hope they bring out a rag-top version. I would definitely be interested - perhaps with an automatic g/box too, not that there's owt wrong with the old SJ box.

At the risk of having opprobrium heaped upon me I am sorry to report that my dear old Dirt Chucker has gone to become a JC Midge Mk2. My M.o.T. man had told me that he would be unable to pass it again until significant work had been done on the chassis/body mountings, so I sought out a local welder,...
