Greetings all,
Have just joined the club having bought a 330ci convertable with cream leather and wood trim (not sure it's real wood!) and I love it.

I'm slightly terrified by the potential reliability, particularly where the retractable hood mechanism is concerned. Is there any maintenance I can do to keep it sweet? Should I lubricate the joints at all?

Bought this to replace my Triumph Herald 13/60 convertable which I have had for fifteen years, a great move up of course though the wood is not only genuine but solid timber!

Regards
Graham Allen

I used to have a Triumph Spitfire. I think the only solid thing on the cars was the dashboard timber !
