Did anybody from the club recognise your car from the registration, I believe you said previously they had assessed it as only fit for spares? I think a lot of people had been following the body swap progress on the Counties FB page so were well aware of what I was doing and that I was aiming to ge...

That's my mate Ed's old 4/90. Why oh why has the new owner removed the lovely original (peaked reflective) number plates and r...

I have a feeling I saw that particular A70 out across the New Forest one evening a few years back, certainly didn't think there were any in this vicinity so maybe he had a holiday down this way. John, owner of KOP 18 lives in Herefordshire but he could have been on holiday, as you say, or down ther...

Once the Hampshire had dried out from Crich, I took it to the Mid Lincs Rover club rally at East Kirkby museum. I last went to this event in 2011 and it was full of all sorts of lovely old classics, so I was keen to go again. Unfortunately, the show is now packed full of modern cars, loads of 75/ZT/...

Well done, AD....The Hampshire is richly deserving of such a prize, after all you have saved two cars not just one and my experience of Austin Clubs tells me that the only other candidate would not for a moment begrudge you the award. He wasn’t bothered at all, he’s won the award several times over...

Sorry, I knew I hadn’t updated this thread in a while but ten months is inexcusable. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been up to with the Hampshire. The Counties rally went very well. On the Saturday, we did the Great British car journey in the morning, followed by an informal run around the Peaks or a visi...

Was that all it was?

I'm not really a fan of car clubs but do realise that cars such as the Mayflower, Renown etc. are not widely catered for and the need to band together, even if just to exchange information and support, becomes more necessary. So, good work, Mr Angry, new blood is desperately needed and more importa...

The Mayflower got a lot of attention in Mablethorpe with a couple of people who came to talk about it and a lot of people pointing and smiling. It’s a surprisingly popular little car, for an ugly duckling!

A lovely weekend with the Mayflower. Went to stay with my GF and took her out to Mablethorpe in it. She wasn’t expecting much as she didn’t like the styling, but was impressed with how good it felt as a passenger. No running issues to report, oil used over 50 miles about 1/4 pint. I have no idea if ...
