Drumstick, that's the same Italian supplier as the Ziarelli tyres so would still potentially fall foul of all kind of import issues post-Brexit?

Ziarelli Tyres are manufactured in Italy so possibly better quality than some of the Far Eastern remoulds that are on the market.
This is kind of what I'm thinking. Insa tyres (Spanish?) have a rea ... |

No pictures of the chassis?

What engine? Age and grill decal suggest it is pre-tdi so probably the troublesome td.
