Anton, zil131

I have just stripped everything off my 59 simca marmon I have all the brake valves air over hydraulic pack master cylinder etc etc if you need anything just let me know based in Derbyshire Cheers anton I'm just going fit a modern brake system with a large servo

Simca marmon military seats in good usable condition with sliding bases and adjustable backrests Collection from j28m1 area of Derbyshire Will fit other vehicles 18 inches wide by 28 inches tall £200

I've just purchased a 1959 simca marmon which is UK registered and is currently mot and tax exempt If I replaced the complete cab for something a lot newer would this affect its status for being tax and mot exempt ❓

Thanks for the info greatly appreciated 👍

Hi does anyone know the chassis, vin number location on a simca marmon 1959 Cheers anton

Thanks Phil to be honest it doesn't recover well when revs are low changing up But I'm really struggling coming down box I checked gearbox oil today level is ok and doesn't seem that old I'm going to jack it up at weekend and check clutch adjustment I think it's fine but just want to check it's clearing fully Need to go through ignition and give carb a overall to I think most of the problem is still me need to get used to the gearbox Thanks for the advice though 👍👍

I suppose the real issue is most of us never grew up having to drive crash gearboxes And now with full synchro and semi auto gearboxes they do everything for us

Well at least when you're taught that way it soon becomes second nature and hopefully it stops you pushing one down a bank or even worse dropping one on the road 🤔😭

I've only had vehicle a few weeks not sure about selector fork material I've managed to download a workshop manual and just use whatever oil it requires To be on the safe side Cheers anton

9Not sure about oil viscosity level is ok If things don't get any easier will have to drain it and check specs and replace it Cheers anton

It is quite easy going up box but a real struggle coming down lol Like you say can only get easier with time ! Hopefully 👍

I drive artics with synchro boxes So it could be just a steep learning curve Thanks guys for your input Will do a few more trips out take on board what you, ve said and see how it goes Cheers anton

Quite possible might be changing at to higher speed Will try it again in week see how it goes Cheers anton
