In the early 70's I was the MOT tester at a BL dealership.
The sales manager sent his daughter along with a yellow 4/4 2 seater.
In those days brake testing needed a road test with a Taperly meter.
The view of the long, louvered bonnet seen through a letter box windscreen, swinging like a gun barrel is one of the the classic sights in motoring.
I was not happy with some play in the "king pins."
The sales manager said give this number a ring, and I had a chat with Mike Duncan, the short version being "they all do that".
About ten years latter when I was marine engineer, I bought a red 2 seater from Mike, I still have it.
