Any classic car owners out there...

Mk2 Rs 2000

The RS is really nice, well done.

I was a bit hesitant about showing this as it's by no means concourse but it has sentimental value, We've had it 44 years but my wife can no longer drive it (MS) as it has no power assisted brakes or steering. It's good mechanically but rough inside and out. My mate Danny gave it a blow over  earlier in the summer, mostly to protect it as the paintwork was failing. I have yet to flat it down and polish. The bag of pellets is stored in the back as a bit of ballast, I've burned the other three.

I used to have a MGB GT as well. Four speed plus overdrive and a full length sunroof. It was fun driving it, however I never really trusted it not to break down and I never really used it, so I got rid of it.

 

I have to admit I have a soft spot for the Jaguar XJS. IMHO it was the nicest Jaguar ever produced. My mum used to have a Jag and it cost something like a grand to replace the tyres - hence why I have a Fiesta

I have an ancient Porsche 944. 1986. Ironically, one of the more reliable cars I've owned! Also a looong way from concourse, but pretty and good fun to drive.

It was the family car from 1973 to 1984 when the youngest was 8 and it got too cramped, we used a LR88 station wagon bought at the same time for gymkhanas. Never had a breakdown  but started using oil at 120k miles so I rebored it, only done 10k since

Here's my pride and joy. 1975. Bought it in a load of boxes 9 years ago and rebuilt it.

Lovely motor Al, and a real credit to you on the rebuild/ reassembly.
Would def be on my shortlist for a dream motor.
Have a real soft spot for the big Triumphs, Dad went through an alarming number of 2000's and 2500's - drink driving wasn't quite so frowned upon in those days. Thankfully he never got hold of a stag to total, instead moved up to jags and rovers, something to do with the longer bonnets meaning he was further away from the scene of the accident !!!

There's a real memorable smell to triumphs - wood, leather and damp from the various leaks

Little Panda Sisley at home in the woods, successfully tackling a dodgy bridge  built for a Honda Quad.  1990 build, 27 years old, 27  years of hard work so must be a classic!
