http://homepage.ntlworld.com/b.lurring/images/minxsmall.jpg Can anyone tell me roughly how old that Minx is? I have the opportunity to get it to restore, but I haven't been able to talk to the owner, just the owner of the land it's on. Going from what I have read on the internet it's a series III? dating from the 60s? The gearchange is on the steering column if that helps any. What's the...

Hi check us out at www.shmetalfinishing.co.uk

just been given some commercial coach operators polish for bodywork but can't find out where to get it from. it's called elite K and its brilliant, so if anyone has heard of it, used it or can point me in the right direction in obtaining some more i'd be very grateful. thanks mouse.

I found these two cars lying in a field among some other old cars rusting away. I have a funny feeling the black one is a 50's Anglia but I'm not quite sure. I didn't get any closer to it than from where the picture was taken. The green one I could not identify because there were no badges...

If there is anyone interested in the first 100 or so copies of Classic Car Mart, they're sitting here alongside me and in imminent danger of being recycled! This really was an excellent magazine when Mike Worthington Williams was editor, I stopped buying it shortly after it changed format and they employed Mark Stone at issue number 101 or thereabouts. I really would hate to see these being...

I'm thinking of buying one of these (a '52), can anyone please advise on what items, in particular, to look for please? The car in question, on paper at least, looks to be in good order, so I don't expect to find any major problems, but having no previous experience of this car I would like to be able to home in on the more, er, 'interesting' areas. Any other comments on the marque in...

Can anybody help? My teenage daughter runs a 1964 Farina A40. Lovely little car, bought through this NG, only 23,000 miles from new. Not concours, dubious respray, but a perfect starter classic. She uses it a lot - lives near Gatwick and commutes to Coventry U doing Mech Eng and Automotive Design. So it's being used, not shown. Enough of the weepies. She just called from the M40 to say the...

Well, SWMBO has a far better nose than myself and it turns out that the 'old car' smell I noticed in the Rover is actually mold. Bummer. So I order to use the car I need to get rid of the mold in the first place - thi stuff is rather too unhealthy to be risking anything here. Does anyone have any experience of getting rid of mold - I *think* it's mainly in the carpets (most likely the underlay...

I reckon I'll need a new 'box for the 75 before long - it's started to whine like a milk-float. Started a couple of months back but hasn't got any worse, though. Would I be right in assuming this is the diff. bearings? - if so, how long have I got before it implodes? Most people just tell me to stick some thick oil in there and sell it quick... but it's such a lovely car, I don't want to part...

Hey Guys, I was just curious if any readers have attempted a Rover V8 implant into a Herlad. If so, what can you tell me about it. TIA, G.

Whats the procedure when buying a car from an ebay seller at the other end of the country, I,m afraid i'll send the cash, send a transporter for the car and the car wont be there!

Dear all - a plea for advice here. One of the hinges on the rear window of my Scimitar (SE5, 1970 model) has worked somewhat loose - this is the part of the hinge that is fastened into the bodywork. Obviously I want to tighten it up, partly because it means the bad window leaks more than usual but mainly to stop the shifting hinge damaging the bodyshell. However, I'm nuggered if I can see where...

Today I had a look at a 1969 Series 1 P6 3500. Mechanically it was fine. 140,000 on the clock but the engine, gearbox and all suspension elements have been replaced in the last 6 years, the engine and gearbox having done only around 9000 miles. Sounded nice, drove well (in a straight line) and braked in a straight line. Kick down doesn't work (just a cable adjustement I suspect) The interior...

Would anyone be interested in a Mk2 Tansit? I'm thinking the engine in particular may be useful to someone?? 12 seat minibus 1986 (C reg) LWB, Semi hi top, twin wheel, 2.0L (pinto?) with 4 speed plus overdrive gbox. Generally good bodily except for a badly corroded floor under the front passenger seat which exits inside the wheel arch. Mechanically it's very good, the engine runs fine and it...
