Due to impracticalities of fitting Child Seats into the back of my 1968 Midget I am looking at swapping it for a slightly larger car, namely a 1972 Triumph Stag. I have always fancied a Stag but have heard conflicting information about their reliability as an run around car (3000mi/year). Some internet sites indicate you have to do an oil change every 3 months to prevent timing chain wear. This...

Greetings urcc I read Jim Warrens post and thought, well I've got something that I was given recently and don't know what to do with, so ... I have here this pair of caravan helper springs that were used with a 1971 Sunbeam Rapier Fastback, and they appear to include the necessary fixings and things. I also know the reg number of the vehicle concerned (which was last due for tax in 1990,...

I was so staggered by the choice of car polish in Halfords recently that I decided I needed to hear the experience of others instead of choosing randomly. This is specifically for a large, black pre-war car finished in cellulose, and I'm concerned about getting silicones near it because some of it will need spraying in the future. Which polish do you use, and how did you settle on your...

If you live in Surrey/Sussex, the Capel Classic Car and Bike Show is this Saturday, 18th August. Take a look at www.capelcarshow.com - all proceeds go to the church restoration fund.... As far as I can make out, it started in the vicar's back garden nine years ago and has expanded to a ridiculous degree. Now has major sponsorship and a remarkable variety of entries and displays - will never be...

Have been given 24 wobbly web wheels with tyres. What are they worth - need refurb.

I haven't seen this petition http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Classic-Cars/ mentioned here before (or have I missed it?) Currently there are just over 11,000 signatures asking the PM to reject any proposals to ban or restrict the use of older cars. Jim

The reply I got was: I am selling this car for £ 4,500.00 including delivery anywhere in UK.I set at a "very, very low" price to guarantee a sale. The only

I would like to have contact with European Continental MKII owners of the years 1956 and 1957. Two knows more than one! I have two MKII of 1956. email to

Anyone else got one of these? Mine's playing up, and I could do with a few pointers. It's barely spraying any material, regardless of air pressure.

Std 1985 SD1 Vitesse. From confused.com £165 no NCD. FC, myself and wife, £50 excess, up to 5000 mls PA with Lancaster. Good? or are there any other Co's that might do better? TIA. Mike.

In my youth (25-30 years back) when I used to avidly read Practical Classics, I distinctly remember a handheld bead blaster designed to blast smallish areas of bodywork (0.5" dia?). It had a sort of rubber surround that was held up against the offending area and it blasted all the rust/whatever away. The beads/grit were lost. I seem to think that it was self contained i.e. not requiring a...

Email me if you can sort me a collection/delivery Kevin please. (my prizes for guessing what it is). ;-) Mark S.

You're wasting your time. They've made their minds up. Here's the response. 21 June 2007 We received a petition asking: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to change the tax exemption laws for historic motor cars."

Or should we just start a new one, and not tell the cross-posters and spammers?

Petition the Prime Minister to cause pre-screening of video material intended for websites. Violent videos involving children are being posted on the internet without being properly screened by the video websites, instead the websites rely on visitors to the sites to report inappropriate material. Footage showing children punching and kicking other youngsters are regularly uploaded on to...

I read somewhere that every Rover P6 had rear seatbelt mounts incorporated from new. Anyone know if this is true and if so, where they are? While I haven't pulled out every bit of trim, I've had a look around mine (1971 2000TC) and can't find any.

Amphicar 1961 to 1968 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0R8l_y4Og The Amphicar was built in Germany from 1961 to 1968. Total production was 3,878 vehicles. The Amphicar is the only civilian amphibious passenger automobile ever to be mass produced. 3,046 Amphicars were imported into the United States between 1961 and 1967.
