Sounds good. Even with a ticket to spain, it could be cheaper than buying a pair over here!
Hope you enjoyed your holiday... where abouts did you go?

On a similar note...
Mk1 & 2 Escorts aplenty in Malta.
Dozens of the buggers still on the road.
Not so easy to carry a whole car in your luggage on a plane though...

Could be a great adventure though! Buy a car in Malta, and drive home via ferry - Europe -ferry back to Blighty.
May cost a fair bit in the end, but you would have had a good holiday!
I presume that they drive on the right in Malta?

As a former British colony and all round excellent place they drive on the correct side of the road.
If you go over there just remember not to mention Germans or Italians after they tried to bomb the crap out of Malta during the war. Heavier bombing
than the Blitz over here...

beware when usin webers that were standerd fit on italian cars sometimes there not the same my mate had to modify normal ones when he was swaping the
"standerd" ones off his 131 miafioria also i remember reading an articale (in classic ford i think) that said the chokes, and jets can have small
differences in them and sometimes a britsh one wont run beside a forign one if using a pair (hope you understand what i'm tryin to say)
any way i'll have a look for the articale over the weekend i never throw my mags out (except my old max power's)

Here is some usefull tips when dealing with webers. http://members.aol.com/dvandrews/webers.htm
I planning to use Dellorto 40. They where fitted on some Alfas here in sweden. You can get them for 40 euros.

In that case, its not "as my locost is classed as a kit car" its age-related then
