<VV> How to fix your rusty Vair (advertisement)

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Just a quick reminder about this excellent booklet! I have had a 
considerable number of orders (thanks guys), but it appears that there are 
still plenty of you who don't care if their Vairs rust to oblivion or not! 
(;-))))))

Don't forget to visit the website for details of our unique process (and I 
tell ya, if we fix Lancias and they don't rust again, we musty *REALLY* know 
what we are doing!).

Cheers

Alan
