On Saturday the work began ...  By lunch time it was ready to take out the engine ...   Someone kept the car going ... but not without a filter !!!  During the afternoon we have a big thunderstorm and were left without lights (sorry for the poor picture quality...)  Above all I am very happy with the excellent state of the whole car making the stripping down very easy without breaking any bolts, etc |

Clever idea for the air filter. That said, bought one the right shape for £8-00. Beautiful car; congratulations!  Leigh (Area rep) |

The 2 dr 510s were only sold in the USA ... I think all other countries only had the 4 dr, and Japan and South Africa the Coupe

Not sure of the year of the car but when you look at the instrumentation and, in particular, the multi-pin wiring connectors in the engine compartment bulkhead, you can see just how far ahead of the European cars the Japanese were in terms of superior equipment and quality items.
I remember those blasted bullet connectors and spade terminals that plagued my Austin/Morris (BLMC) Ford and Vauxhall cars. Poor earthing was another feature.
