Bought one years ago and it was Ok until the battery failed . Dithered about replacing it and in the end got a new battery for it on EBay - Lucas 22ah for about £30 .FAR better than it ever was. My 1973 Rover 3500s battery was so flat today you could hear the starter chattering, hooked up my booster and it fair burst into life. So - don't throw them away , fit a "proper " battery.
