Just to advise that another 1600 has returned to the road today, after a repaint of the body. Vic QZS530.
 
It's white, it's dead stock original, its auto, it looks like new inside and out, rattle free.  But its pretty uninspiring to drive.  I cant remember my last drive in a stock 1600 (and I had never driven an auto) but this Datto feels - old.  Skinny plastic steering wheel, slippery vinyl front seats, hard to read dash lighting.  But its original engine purrs, after fitting a Hitachi distributor and a tune up, and feels unburstable.  It pulls 5500 in top and still has more to give, so it doesnt lack top speed, you just have to wait, and wait, to get there!  Despite these negatives it gives the feeling of typical Datto solid reliability.  
 
Give Kath a flash (of lights) if you spot her driving her "new" car!
 
(Kath, the deal is I get first offer to buy it back when you get tired of being left behind!)
