I'm based in England and quite new to this Amazon lark. I'm about to purchase my first one, a 1969 2-door 132, red all over (apart from the black) with a B20B. What I actually want to do is to get you folk out there who love their Amazons to squeeze out a few gripes and groans. What little things annoy you about the car? Which modern conveniences do you miss?

I'd especially like to know about a couple of things: firstly, soundproofing. Have you had good success with getting the noise down, and how did you do it? Secondly, power. The car I want has a B20B, twin-carb, completely standard. What improvements could I make to make this (already very good) engine zip the car along a bit more briskly?

If any reader has a similar year and model tell me why you hang onto it, and why I should hang onto mine. I get the feeling this isn't going to be 'just another car'.
