411 Series 1

My Series 1 is fitted with Pirelli P4000 205/15 tyres which I find very satisfactory. Many 411's are so fitted - 185/15's were originally specified.

Oil Pressure

Ronald, curiously my 383 maintains 50 pounds of pressure from start up through to normal operating temperature, any variation is very small! I use 20w50 Valvoline racing oil.

''Bristolling''
