Years ago had an old ford pop 100e
Head gasket went, still got me home 98 miles later
Side valve engine, so simple to repair, 8 bolts , job done (after a clean)
Brakes, doddle to replace
Starter end worm gear to replace- piece of cake
Piston blew its top off - to replace - a doddle
The question I would like to ask - is there a modern car in the same league
Because in my opinion the 100e was a magic motor for the DIY mechanic
Your thoughts on old cars much appreciated
