Incidentally, I married an Osborne. Does your family originate from Lancashire by any chance?

That’s interesting. Where the 398 heads modified in any way to maintain the CR. Or where the 408 engines by default higher compression?

I removed the overpaint with my thumb nail before final satin lacquer coat. The original was dented a scarred, but not quite to the same extent as Teds, which I think is probably beyond cosmetic recovery.

Unfortunately I don’t  have a before and after. This is a comparison between new oem and restored.

Yes painted. I’ve restored worse. Have a dig around in past posts and you will see what’s achievable.

As Ken has stated. The 4 x 4 sounds great when you give it the beans….really nice, without being antisocial.

Hi, Ted. Personal choice as always, but  I’d be inclined to go for the 4into 4. My mate had a Marvin way back in the late 70s. It sounded great initially, but after a few 50 mile round trips to college it all became something of an aural assault. He changed back to the 4 into 4 pretty quickly.

As for cost vs value vs aesthetic's, you know the drill…..

Merry Christmas.

Thanks yes you are right he does use 1/8 inch drill not 10 mm. Have corrected my post.


Err, at the risk of been picky you have left the 10mm bit in?
