ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The time proven transverse mounted 1300 OHV engine produces a spritely 66BHP which in such a lightweight and nimble car offers lively performance whilst returning a frugal 44. 1 mpg. The engine is wonderfully quiet and smooth thanks to a lifetime of fastidious care and maintenance. The standard specification automatic choke is present and correct. and operates perfectly. The four speed synchromesh gearbox with remote shift and self-adjusting clutch is light and exact. a joy to use.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
Five factory original and unrestored 12” x 4. 5” pressed steel wheels with GL specific chrome embellishers are amazingly well preserved with only the faintest age related markings. Branded matching 155/80 R12 tyres have masses of tread remaining and the pristine spare wheel with brand new tyre sits in the spotless lower boot floor housing alongside the original jack. A Pirelli Cinturato P3 tyre has been retained should the owner wish to place back as a spare. The dual line servo assisted brakes with 8. 7” front discs and 7. 0” rear drums bring the car up to a steady. straight and assured halt.
