Well it had to come: another one to add to the fleet!  Kevin is a 1979 HLS. Always wanted another Maxi. We have had two a blue 1500 and a targa green 1750HL. This one turned up relatively local and has had one previous owner from new. Needed a couple of patches on the inner rear wheel arches and a bit of welding to the bulkhead, but only thing stopping it getting an MOT now is the emissions. Fitted a couple of new air filters (he has twin carbs) and turned the mixture down a flat. Hoping he will pass tomorrow. |

Well done Keef - at last! - a Maxi on the forum. I can see him becoming F'n Kevin when he misbehaves.  Rolling restoration? Chris. |

Kevin is now road legal.   Lots of niggles to sort out such as heater motor blower isn't working and speedo stops then starts again for no aparent reason. |

First chap was from another branch, but seemed to think it was quite solid. Didn't dish out stacks of advisories? There were a few, but oddly less on the first test than on the re-test. Might have missed a sheet off the first test, I 'spose, but didn't want to cause any problems by asking. Had a reasonable run out to Wrotham today, where I met some fellow auto lovers from another forum. :-  |

SPLINTEX - now a Belgian company. GLACETEX - appears to have died without trace. Good fix on the fuel sender. Chris.
