1:53. Is the RH bonnet catch not engaged or does it need some adjusting? Also, at 8:34, why thermal insulation on the intake side? The exhaust side is where it's really needed.

Hi Nick, we sold this car a couple of years ago. It had a slightly different registration number though, but that might have changed over time.

His car if it was 1967-1969 it would not of been this car as the Sprints were only produced between 1971-1973.
