I think Mabel had been quite looked after by her previous owners. I'm assuming that Barney has been owned by a boy racer at some point, based on the cheap DRLs all over the car (they are on the front, in the boot. In every door pocket etc etc) and the S line badges.Having only recently rejoined this forum after a long sabbatical if you don't mind me asking, why is Barney such a bag of spanner’s compared to Mabel?
The last person to have him must have used him to transport stuff I think - the seat belt is filthy as are the seats. There was no roller cover in the boot when I got him. So the suspension is fairly clunky.
I have spent a lot on Mabel - she has had a new head gasket, cylinder rebore and intake manifold bits and pieces, but it's all been engine really and everything else is really good condition. Barney has been used and abused, although previous owners have looked after the OSS
