He changed wheels and tyres had the prop critically balanced rebuilt the rear axle to no avail. Swapped the BW35 back in and all was well. He never did find out what the problem was. He knows his Amazons inside out and has had them for years so he doubt if he missed anything during this time. Sold the car to a friend and still looks after it for him. Don't know if he still has the AW70 and adaptor plate up there in Zaandam.

That is a very interesting story - thank you. So we know someone has done this previously (I'd have been surprised if that was not the case).
