Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

A couple spring to my mind - the Series 1 XJ12L I had back in the mid 90, reg RAR 115L, and the heavily modified Mk3 Spitfire fitted with a 2.5 out of the big saloons.

Where are they now? the Jag appeared on ebay a couple of years ago, needing a bit of tlc and sold for strong ££££, the Spitty I've heard nothing about since it sold in 1995 (to pay for buying the Jag from memory).

Straight off, there are four cars that spring to mind.

First off, a MkII Ford Zephyr Convertible that was tuned with Mays parts, if I remember correctly.

Second, an ex-Chrysler Competitions Sunbeam H120, mainly because it was fast AND reliable.

Thirdly, my old twin carb B series engined 105E.

Finally, an old Austin A40 Cambridge. Underpowered with the original 1200cc B series, but later....yeehaw! (It got the engine from nr. 3!)

I wish I had kept them all but then I'd need a warehouse to store them.
Here's a few of my favorites.........

#1 "Studie", 1942 Studebaker Champion


#2 Not really a classic but I miss my '77 Ford F100


#3 1969 Ford Fairlane, given to me from my Grandfather.


#4 1972 Ford Mach-1 w/351HO. Still have the wife though!


#5 1971 Ford Mustang drag car. The Mustang & Mach-1 had similar factory paint schemes.


#6 1955 Chevy Bel Air Coupe. I had this when the 'American Graffiti' movie came out which made it a popular car around town at the time.


#7 1966 Chevelle Malibu drag car. Low mileage car with an excellant body. Would be a nice street cruiser today!


#8 1940 Dodge Truck


I've had a few toys over the years and there are more that I wish I still had but I don't think I can come close to Rick's total.
These are the ones I probably miss the most.

Stuchamp, heres me thinking that you only liked original cars!

[Stuchamp]

I like em all, well, almost all!

[Uncle Joe]

Stuchamp, you´re a man after my own heart!

Incidentally, I had a short cruise today....

And how did it go?

[Uncle Joe]

It was a blast!

I will admit though a couple of faults did appear. One of them, I´m sure that you can help with. Is there an easy way to clean asian cars out of the air filter? They really make it run rich!

[Stuchamp]

My Chevy just spits them out the exhaust pipes!

[Wingy]

With the notable exception of a Fiat Panda (please don't ask...) I regret getting rid of them all, it's always a wrench.

Hi Wingy!

Go on, tell us what you've sold and then regretted!!

Rick.

[Uncle Joe]

Hi Wingy,

You said dont ask so I have to! Whats wrong with Fiat Pandas? At least they aren´t french!

[xkjaguar]
