Re: Noddys Natterings ,Mojo lossage ( along with the brakes
Don`t tell anyone, but I once had all the seals turn themselves inside out on the front of an Imp once, coming down a very steep hill from Brighton.

Well, enthused by the National and deciding to deal with my inclination to be negative head on, I saw Noddy's post and decided I would give it a go. Got to work and soon had the Chamois in bits.

Hello Basil, Many thanks! The original colour was Claret Metallic 126. However the body man pointed out that in fact it wasn't correct as it had pearlescent paint on.
