Re: Hi from Spain
Olá Miguel! Welcome to our Club site and for owning an increasingly rare car. She looks like there's some tender loving care needed before any trip to the UK but we are all here to offer help and advice, so please feel free to ask whatever you want.
Re: Hi from Spain
Good luck with that Miguel. Perhaps you would also register your car details with The A40 Farina Register Page on Facebook, as we are trying to get as much information on all the surviving cars we can. Thanks Scotty.

Re: Hi from Spain
I guess it's the MK2 Innconti's A40 berlina? Assembled version, The assembly line quality control and workers were a lot more fastidious than the UK 1970s equivalent
The good old British BMC Longbridge assembly line workers were equally fastidious in teas breaks, Lunch breaks, tea breaks and if Birmingham city FC were playing at home? Going on strike

Whao, engine looks and sounds very smart. Stopped from 1985 and runs so good. Many turns without spark plugs to free the components and oil in the spark holes. Ah, and refill oil in the pump.
Nos ponemos en marcha ¡¡¡
