Hi all
I am looking at buying a Herald / Vitesse convertible. I currently have an MG Midget on the road and an MGB GT undergoing surgery... so I have an insight into maintaining classics.
What are the main areas of tin worm that I should be aware of when looking to buy, are spares readily available and are there any books that I buy that may help in my search.
Cheers
Tony
I'll pre-empt my local area member Lawrence on this one (sorry Lawrence!!) - suspect everything between the bumpers. Then include the bumpers.
If you've already got an MG or two you'll know all about British steel - great if well looked after but a tendency to rot everywhere if ignored. The chassis is obviously the main area of concern, especially the dip around the differential / rear axle - check the inside of each rail and poke it hard with a screwdriver or other prod.
