Tim,
I noticed that too, but figured they would have reversed
them eventually as the wheel wont clear. They probably got around to
it when they replaced the shocks. ;-)
I also have a problem with calling the car "restored" as
among other things, the wheels are wire, has disc brakes, 1275, etc.
etc.. Do we need another word? It's handsome, and a good job, but
restored in my mind, something like "returned to original
specification" or something. Reconstructed, resurrected,
reincarnated, whatever, but not restored.
Sorry need coffee. But I'm FINALLY commuting in a proper car.
Peter C.
