Re: Classic for under £10K
Well above the definition of this thread but also rare enough to warrant a mention I think, I have never forgotten the image of James May standing in front of one to reveal that his knee was higher than the bonnet line!! :
Having missed the Zoe Gibbo perhaps its time to look more upmarket?

Re: Classic for under £10K
A most interesting read, but am I misunderstanding something? In the ad, the 4th photo down (counting the first group as one) is of a pile of service invoices, the most recent on top.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑13 Sep 2021, 12:37 Well above the definition of this thread but also rare enough to warrant a mention I think, I have never forgotten the image of James May standing in front of one to reveal that his knee was higher than the bonnet line!! :

Does the first line of the top invoice not say "Recover the vehicle from marsh"? Can anyone explain?

I've had my fill of classic cars Mick really think they're for show only nowadays.

Either as Gibbo says or possibly from March in the fens not far from the dealer and a mispell on the bill!

Re: Classic for under £10K
Since the writer of the bill Used Capitals For Every Word I think a little confusion is Not Surprising!

Re: Classic for under £10K
I was under the impression that the FE Victor and the Opel Rekord used the same floorpan. When I was on holiday in the early 70s with my parents the centre rubber mounting of the two-piece propshaft started to give trouble with a thumping rattle type of noise. We were on our way from Spain to France via Andorra and I located the GM Opel dealer in the AA continental touring guide and we went there.
The mechanic put the car on a lift ramp and went underneath, He did the sucking through his teeth noise and shook his head. In my extremely poor Spanish I said "Es mismo Opel Rekord" ("The same as Opel Rekord") and he looked surprised. Anyway, I don't know what he did but a day or so later we picked the car up and continued the journey.
I suppose you could argue that sharing a floorpan is not the same as designing the look of the car panels, which was clearly British.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
