Cool My Uno 60

Well my Uno 60 is kinda on the road at last (driven today for the first time since purchase four months back with blown head gasket etc.) although I didn't get a WOF (MOT equivalent) for one reason: front brake hoses missing rubber bushes at strut clamps. One had begun to chafe ever so slightly - talk about a minor fault! Potentially very dangerous I suppose.

My signature contains a 'Before' pic, here's an 'After' pic.

I used to own an Uno 60 years ago. I'm sure the performance was better than this one! The engine power seems low (engine is correctly tuned with valve clearances correct etc. and runs smoothly). Maybe I should time the 0-60 run

So I'm still in two minds about whether to use it day-to-day or whether to sell it. The front shocks seem a bit weak, could be quite easily fixed if I was going to use the car myself.

I've also fixed-up the interior.

It has expensive mats and seat covers, but at the end of the day, it's BROWN, so I suppose it's not really the place-to-be. Probably I should sell it and use my Turbo instead. Never any problems with the performance of that beast!
