      Pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

      Not a club member unfortunately and I have since sold the car.

    Lovely little Herald. Sounds a healthy car.
    One point though: I hope you take your foot off the cluth as soon as you get into top gear. Just resting your foot on it can wear the thrust bearing and spin the cluth plate causing it to wear fast.

      Thanks for the nice comment. It was a very healthy drivetrain indeed. Unfortunately, the father and son duo who sold it to me as a project had managed to wipe a cam lobe, wedge a cam follower into the block, and destroy the synchro on second gear. Suffice to say I have more of a sense of mechanical care and do not ride the clutch when driving... or indeed over-rev and engine or chew through synchromesh. I was ready for the engine swap but only discovered the damaged gearbox after patting myself on the back for finding a very good used engine. These are very easy to work on though and a replacement gearbox was soon fitted. This was the first true classic car experience for me as I had never driven anything older than 30 years. I was impressed how well the Herald drives despite this. It felt perfectly solid bumbling around country lanes.
