We've got a Pearce living near us Robert; I don't suppose you have any relatives down our way?

Must be related... Just as I can see a striking resemblance between Robert's photos of Yaven Creek, and my recollections of Willanthery! Very similar country!

Forgot to mention with the low profile tyres I'm averaging 36 KPH and getting just a shade over 9 1/2 miles per gallon
Toby I dont know of any relatives in your area but the early Pearces bread like rabbits so it is possible.
Howard did your expert know the name of the company producong mounts and crossmembers for the conversions and could he explain the 1/4" difference in wheelbase

Hi Howard - you were indeed fortunate to meet this CMP expert. What you should have done is to get him to contact Keefy so that Keefy would get the true story on CMPs. He really does need edification.

Bob
