Benefits of common components across manufacturers. That, plus a switched on mechanic who knew a thing or two.

He did need the nudge from me!
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Classic for under £10K
I have deliberately not picked out an individual car from this sale as there are many options which will interest various members from tractors to three wheelers!! There are a few barn finds and of course a 2CV to authenticate the connection!!

Another 1976 classic (the car not the blazer and flared trousers of the presenter!)
and a reminder of the "Thames Television" theme (bing,bong bing-bong thames television) and animation.

Re: Classic for under £10K
So this one doesn't really qualify for this thread but I am using phonetic license!! (I don't know what that is either!)
This is a barn find which will be a very satisfying project and almost certainly make you a small fortune, as long as you start with a vast fortune!!
Everything you need to know is here!

That MG would be an interesting project, 40+ years of perished rubber etc.
