I know the car, Smitsturbo owned it and then Garry Dawson owned it. Did you buy it from Cruden Bay?

Where abouts do you stay?

Thanks, Stephen

the guy is asking for information about a car that he owns, not someone elses. why hold back?

No It won't be out to play in this weather. It's a bit to clean to be out in the winter.

The car has had quite a few owners. I was offered it VERY cheap 2-3 years back so i hope you didnt give too much for it. I also heard rumours of a bad engine rebuild which might explain your oil pressure issues.

Hope you sort it out mate.

yeah im the 16th, last guy spend a bit on it new wheels paint job etc, he done the welding himself, the standard of the car has gone up a bit i think. the last owner before smit was at cove and he left it sitting for ages somewhere down the line its had a t34 greens rs500 intercooler oil breather and chip fitted, ive added a alloy water swirl pot and and alloy rad, but theres no history of any engine work being done and thats my only concern. runs a decent water temp starts and drives ok with no unuasual rattles so my only concern with the car is the oil pressure, done a couple of hundred miles in the car and seems alrite although in the summer im still gonna take the block out and rebuild it myself just for peace of mind!

My 3rd cossy i got thru ricky gauld it had done 177 thousand miles and was stage 1 all i had to get done was a new crank shells and a set of piston rings and the engine was as good as new which i thought was quite impressive for such high miles!

I don't know about the car much, just know it from when smits had it and it was out and about in Peterhead.

Most cossies have had loads of owners by now.
