What postwar car are you thinking of replacing them with? I like 1930s cars. I saw two Standard 20 hp cars towing caravans at a rally in Malvern a few years ago. They looked great.

I have a 1936 Vintage caravan,so need a car of the same era that will tow it.
The weight of the caravan is 17cwt.

Its nice to have a clear out from time to time.i have hung on some of my cars too long, then at least if something comes along that is a bit different or you have not owned one you have the cash and a nice warm place ready to put your new purchase.

I have a Jaguar XJ6 series 1,in the last 12 years I have covered less than 3,000 miles.It is not getting enough use,I think it is time I cut the tie with it,as much as I love it to bits.
One owner from new genuine 43,000 miles from new,full paperwork history.

You have convinced me. Come the spring I intend to sell my Rover 100 cabriolet. and I am even eyeing up the XJS cabriolet as a possible item to sell.
I find it difficult to keep them all on the road, the current weather does not help.
I would like a Flying Standard as a replacement. I had a Standard 12 coupe as my first car.

Doubt I will find one nowadays, I looked at one some years ago but it was to far gone.

Happy New Year to all, Kels.
