Tesco: An Age-Old Multicultural Problem by Western Voice
Tesco: An Age-Old Multicultural Problem In older England the merchant class had many easy-going traditions. One tradition was that a respectable tradesman would never seek business but wait for it to come to him. Another tradition was that to decorate one's store window with lights or colors, or to display one's stock of goods attractively in the view of the public, was a contemptible and...

E-Type steering wheel by Geoff Mackenzie
Does anybody happen to know if the steering wheel from a Series 1 E-'Type (1961-1967) also fits the MK 2 saloon? Or anything else, come to that? It's highly likely as Mr Lyons standardised across the range as far as possible to keep costs down. The central aperture is 2.25in. TIA GeoffMacK

Popular-classics forum down by Willy Eckerslyke
First the Practical Classics website and forum went belly up (undergoing maintenance), now the Popular-classics forum seems to have major problems. I know a few regulars here are subscribers, so anyone know what's going on?

road test exempt? by nona
Hello, The vendor of this van on Ebay claims it is road test exempt. 370001550152 Sounds unlikely somehow. Can it be? Not thinking about buying - just curious how such an exemption might be obtained.

High torque starter motors by Dave Plowman (News)
Anyone have experience of these as replacements? They're permanent magnet motors with reduction gearing - said to be a lot more efficient than the older Lucas direct drive types. -- *If all is not lost, where the hell is it? Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Spot welding add-on for Arc welder? by Adrian
Folks, I can't weld. But I know a man who can. And he's coming over this weekend, to shove floors/sills/lower bulkhead in the 2cv van. Because we're putting a few new panels in, he's suggesting getting hold of a spot welder. No prob - HSS hire one, for about £50. Except whilst it likes 240v, it wants a bit more of it than is normally kicking about. Like 32A of it. Which, going by HSS'...

Starter solenoid urgently wanted by Geoff Mackenzie
I posted about this a few weeks ago. I need a starter solenoid for a 1966 E-Type Jaguar. The Lucas part number is 76476A. but it does not seem to be listed in any of the Lucas catalogues. I've tried umpteen telephone calls; the nearest so far was JagBreaker in Newcastle (they sell new parts as well) who recognised the number and thought they could supply from stock. Turned out they...

1969 Sunbeam Alpine Arrow. Body mods by ttynan@iol.ie
I've acquired one, an abandoned project to convert to a convertible, along the lines of the common Morris Minor mod. Being a two-door and with a reasonably low body line I think it looks pretty good with (so far) just the roof chopped. Was wondering if anyone knows of such a conversion? I am broadly familiar with the MMinor procedure regarding stiffening and strengthenig/reinforcement to...

Number Plates - which type? by sweller
I have a 1965 Jaguar S type - what type of number plate would have been fitted to it originally? Would it have had pressed aluminium or would a higher end car of that era more likely had riveted letters, silver or white on black? I always associated pressed aluminium with cheap cars and commercial vehicles. Whilst I'm on the subject I always think black number plates look very

Dating car registrations by Adrian
Petert gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: Anyone have any idea if there is anywhere where I can date car registration numbers? i.e. those issued before 1963 in England & Wales. It would be helpful in dating some old photo's I have Identifying the cars the plates are on would probably give you a close enough date.

Advisability of driving Borg Warner without prop? by Alex
I've got a RR 200Tdi with a BW xfer box, the front prop is ducked (specifically it's in about 4 pieces, two of which are on the road somewhere). I know the LT230 shouldn't be driven far/fast with the difflock on, what about the BW box? is it likely to be affected in any way? Alex

Car ID by Geoff Mackenzie
Is it possible to identfy a car by its registration number? I've tried Google and various registration sites but no luck. The car in question is WMC 180. The reaon I ask is that I followed this car yesterday in Horley, and I am intrigued to know what it was. My best guess is a Paramount, a mid-fifties 1172 Ford Special - so it may be registered as a Ford, although Paramount were...
