Probably related to the season, but it's been nice seeing so many classics on the road over the last few weeks, including: Daimler 2.5 V8 Rover P4 (not sure about the sand over orangey-mud colour scheme) Herald E-type TR6 TR3 Rover P4 "Cyclops" Volvo Amazon (going like hell on A55 past Conwy!)

As original engines (i.e. Triumph's V8) can be made reliable these days, alternative engine will seriously damage market value!!! However I rate the Rover engine as being just as god in the car as the original and have one as such.

Although some would argue it was a classic... I'm bored. Anyone want to swap my 1990 5dr GTI for a classic car?
