I've put some recent pictures of the Scimitar up at: http://users.aber.ac.uk/azb/outside/plum and will add some interior and engine-bay shots later today. Honesty compels me to note that there's a bit of drive-line noise - a prop-shaft bearing, I suspect. Doesn't invalidate this being a basically good car though. If you have the sapce and the skill-set to do most of the work on it yourself then

I have a car which has a Speedo that under reads i.e. at 70 it shows 50. so I have stuck stickers to the Speedo to indicate the correct speed after doing a few speed checks with another car. is this legal? someone told me its illegal...but I cant see why it should be. Steve

In Warrington Cheshire. MOT Mar 05 Tax Jan 05 135k miles. Saab Aero kit and 3 spoke Aero wheels as standard. Electric windows, mirrors, sunroof. Looking for offers in the region of £1200, but will consider silly ones below that as I need to move it.

I've finally come to the conclusion that 400-mile runs with 1-tonne tows would be asking a little too much of a 34 year old car, so my Scimitar is up for sale. Mechanically it's fine (excellent, I'd venture) - on the last trip to Scotland it ran beautifully. Engine is as good as an Essex ever is, old pressure absolutely fine all the way through, running temperature fine (new head gaskets,...

Hi, I'm very tempted by a Jensen Healey currently for sale on Ebay, I cannot get to Sheffield to see it so I was wondering if anyone recognises or has any experience of this car. The owner says that the only jobs that need doing are a new sun visor and repairing the drivers seat tilt mechanism, which sounds pretty good to me. The car is at:

My new project is going to involve a strip down to the bare chassis. What is the best treatment for a complete chassis which has rust all over it? I've heard of sand blasting and bead blasting but which is best? And can I do it at home? Loads of other stuff will also need doing so the investment may be worth it. Thanks Pete W

I would very much like to buy a decrepit 40-year-old Midget/Sprite non-runner and restore it. I wouldn't try and restore it to concours; rather just have something that is quite presentable. I would not buy a complete wreck, but rather something with the odd rust hole and blistering paint. I have no experience of restoration. The mechanical side I feel quite confident about. However, bodywork...

I need the space hence the sale. See it here http://snipurl.com/spitfire Cris

Hi I'm trying to find ignition timing settings for a marinised BMC 803 engine (as fitted to the early minis/minors and Austin A35s). The engine has been recently overhauled and I believe it has been fitted with an unleaded cylinder head so would it be necesssary to retard the ignition to run on u/l fuel? I also need contact breaker and plug gap settings. Could anybody please assist?

Neither of my Mini's (1962 and 1964) have keys. One car has a key that works (but the key number doesn't match the lock number), and the other has none. Is there any supplier of keys? Preferably, I would like to find original "Union" brand keys, since that is what they had originally. They are "FS" type. Any ideas? Thanks :-)

I currently reside in greece and wish to purchase a sunbeam rapier in the U.K. and bring it into Greece. Can anyone advise on import costs etc on such an old car ? Information here in greece is almost impossible to find
