I'd go for a frogeye with a different front too

….so would I.
And no external door handles...……..

Blimey. They obviously hadn't figured how popular the T9 would be! (32yrs for mine, 34 since start).

Sorry if this has all been discussed before, but I can't get my head round no drain plug on a Type 9. Were they meant to be sealed for life? If not, what?

Somebody sent me this photo taken at the 32nd Hunton Steam Gathering over the weekend of 9th and 10th September 2017. Clipped the end of the Scim.
Anybody here?

Wolseley Register owners shopping in Wilko's, Castle Douglas, Sat. 25th.

B****r!.......ex-pat Essex Boy beaten by resident EB!

....but when did you know about the courtesy light?

White Series 5 (too quick for reg. or pic.) outside private house in N. Kirkcudbright (B&B?) on Sat. and same yesterday outside Hotel-on-the-Loch (A75).

Kevin E. washed out at Kbt Rally, perhaps? I didn't even bother as it chucked it down all day.

I have been driving SS1s for over ten years now, and every now and again still find out new little things about them. About two weeks ago..... found that if you " rock " the fitting fore and aft it acts as a switch on the light. Something I had never found out before today. This is probably old new...

Could be, Alan!
H.I. wouldn't let me buy another till this one's sold, but this is 'Kirsty', so I'm not for selling.
Will have to trust my proposed mod works!

G*d, NO! One's plenty!

No, all it did was replace the bi-metallic - which, as I said, I found out after was still working OK, but the manual conversion bit I bought had no indication that it involved the fast idle. BTW, if I was feeling really rich or stupid or both, I could go for this (just found): https://www.ebay.co.u...
