The tyre or the car ? If the car,at the mo i'd like to keep it under my hat ,but ;
It's available (at a price)
It's a rust free minter ..
it's never been got at
good colour
not many people know about it
it's tax free
mrs zipgun had the estate version years ago ..so she'll know how to drive it
To some it's maybe too good and ought not be used as a daily , but hell there's loads of them still about ,and if sommat should happen to it ,it won't be the end of the world !
As i had a few 1100/1300s in the 70's ,apart from the skinny steering wheel ,they're not far off modern cars are they ? In fact the GT went like stink !
Just can't remember how much mantainace they had to have ...If i've got to have my head under the bonnet every weekend..
I reckon a halogen headlight kit , good boots ,electronic pump and ignition , it'll be ok .. and skinny tyres will be great in the snow
what do i do about decent tyres? I dont think 155 x12 are made now apart from " trailer tyres " ,Maxi wheels and low profiles ? 
.. 200 miles in 2 years .Only bought and kept it because the prices were going stupid (like escorts did ) . I know it's easy to drive ,simple ,gets looked at ..blah ,blah, but i can't click with it...
