"The gearshift has a long action and notchy detents that don't like to be rushed, the clutch is heavy and bites high and even at manoeuvering velocities the steering feels low-geared. The engine is a bit grumbly low down, pulling cleanly but without much in the way of either torque or enthusiasm."
"The steering still feels leisurely at speed, the front end only starts to respond with a surprising amount of lock applied and feedback is muted at best."
Not the best road report, clutch needs done, sounds like some bushes etc too.. probably lots perished in such an unused car. This is the problem with some low miles garage queens. Author says himself the car drives abit stuffy and feels abit wooly. If only he knew how a well fettled car should drive, but that's probably the only one he has driven, nothing to compare it against and doesn't know how it should drive.
Good read though.
