Re: What did you do today?

Good to hear, Paul, he must be chuffed with himself and rightly so......

In other news, I am now an ex-Chrysler owner. New owner picked it up just now, it is staying local and in good hands - bloke has a couple of Cadillacs and wanted a daily. I feel I have passed it on responsibly.....

Nice! I do like those fake 4 door/2 doors the Americans made during the 40s/50s.

Re: Found pics

Aye, most of us would! I still find it quite hard to comprehend the appeal of mundane little Britboxes in the Land Of Plenty during the postwar boom years. I suppose parking space or sheer terror of piloting a normal-sized vehicle might have been a factor for some but it still surprises me the ...

Re: What did you do today?

I'd like an R Type on Town & Country rears, bubbling wings and a worn interior with scuffed leather and peeling dash. Our local record shop owner had one just like that in the early Seventies, he lived in a small cottage by the main road with no road access and the Bentley lived in a layby at the ...

£5500 plus fees which was very well bought.

With a two-year gap, the 1100/1300 were Britain's best selling car between 1963 and 1971. To put that in perspective, this one single design (albeit with many permutations) bridged the years between the Mk1 Cortina full-production years and the first few months of Mk3 Cortina. These were years of ...

Re: What did you do today?

It has always been the same, though, the first things to take a hit will be the over-valued.....The rotten, the indifferently-restored, the obviously historically inaccurate and the plain badly-bought. Those of us who bought what we fancied at a price we could afford will ride it out as ever.
