Aha I'm hearing
, but being a mature sensible driver of course I wouldn't dream of exceeding the limit .Oh and yes that weight figure would make more sense...Doh ! Got me asking myself how much the RA weighed lol .

A few quick pics...
Very pleased with the purchase so far , averaged 34mpg on the journey back , covering 214 miles mostly just cruising around 65-70 mph

Thanks Ian and others for looking
.The 185's in particular were heavy beasts , I had a total of 4 in eleven years and apart from the import I bought with a fubared box I never had any other issues with any of them , a real labour of love to make quick mind
