No idea, Daniel. It's with my specialist, but I'll check and let you know. I do know they're adjustable shocks.

My '71 is factory stock, although she's in the workshop for servicing and a few upgrades. So, she's getting an uprated front anti-roll bar, Koni gas shocks, ceramic coated 'shorty' headers with a Flowmaster exhaust system and electronic ignition inside a 'stock' distributor housing. Only the...

I've recently discovered an old 70's band called Geordie. Their lead singer left and joined another band some years after their heyday and he's still going strong... Geordie, with this lead singer made some stunning tracks, most notably 'Give You Till Monday' and 'Natural Born Loser'. Beyond...

Welcome, from another UK owner. Look forward to the updates.

Manual, too. Nice, if sad to see one so in need of love. Hope someone saves her and brings her back to her original glory.

I've just had the report back on mine from the specialist I took her to a few days ago. Now, the following is by no means conclusive, but it's as far as they're going for now until she's been roadtested. They've found the prop is out of balance and the UJ's are worn, plus there's some wear in...

Talking of cinnamon, that's what I use. My recipe below: Olive oil, for frying 1kg minced beef 500g chorizo, cut into 1 cm cubes 2 x 400g tins of kidney beans, drained, or 200g dried kidney beans, soaked overnight (optional) 2 onions, peeled and chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped...

Here's a typical conversation that always gets me and it goes something like this.... 'Oh, you've bought an American car, but all American cars are automatic. Why is yours manual? Has it been converted?' Or another 'fact' that's wrong... 'Your Mustang is left hand drive. That must be really...

Keena, that is stunning! Here's a contrasting picture from the Uk on the day I collected my Mach 1 and drove her home on a cloudy, damp, miserable M25 motorway. I was smiling heavily, though!!

Is your chatter just when puling away in 1st, or is this when engaging each gear? I've got a similar problem in mine in that I get clutch judder when pulling away in 1st. Nothing at all engaging 2nd, 3rd or 4th and downshifts are also smooth. Mine's going into a workshop next week to be looked...

Mike, it did occur to me that they probably 'knew' each other on the day. And here we are, 44 years later, talking about it. What are the chances? I'm like you with regards the calendar thing. You're not so crazy. Mark - well worth doing! Get it done, old boy.

The Shinoda Mach 2 definitely has 'Charger overtones in there. But also, there's elements of GT40 as well. And you can see where BMW may have got their inspiration for the 8-Series front end from the 90's from, too. The Mach 1 and Milano could almost be melded to form the '71-'73 Mach 1 shape...

Hi! I've got a factory Hurst 4-speed manual that appears to have an afternarket wood / rubber T-handle shifter fitted. My Mach 1 was built in September 1970. I really want the factory look, but cannot definitively find whether the thread size is 3/8-16 or 3/8-24. Could anyone please advise...

Here's the report on my '71 Mach 1. She's still factory original, other than the colour change, with less than 48,000 miles from new.

Oh yes! I'll be uploading it today.
