Enjoy the forum and your new cars gents!

Thanks all, I am shocked how clean the car is. The drivers seat needs replacing ideally, but I bet it wont be easy finding a spare in good condition

Just look for a passengersseat on the mainland. You can use it as a driversseat.

M10 is all 4 cilinder, m20 is 6 cilinders. Since you have a 320/6, its a 6 cilinder and m20
