A guy I knew back then would only ever buy them Gordon,they did well to survive the treatment he gave them,driving over rough fields etc[he was a farmer]One day he brought the "Car" into the w/shop complaining about the play in the steering colomb,we pulled it apart only to find the colomb bushes to be just like the cardboard tube from a loo roll,guess what replaced it.
