HC?

[DustyC]

Help me clear something up.

Just what is HC? (ie 500HC Engine).

Does it basically mean the serp engine? I see it on so many adverts over the whole range of cars that Im confused.

(Also everyone seems to have different meanings for HC!)

[DustyC]

Thanks rude girl.

So that means that all pre-serp 500s are HC's?

If this is the case then why do I see post '95 cars advertised as HC?

Could it also be the case that all HCs have the old rover gearbox?

Im not being anorak Im just trying to understand if people are advertising cars wrong or not.

Steve, you always manage to clarify these situation precisely.
Surly all TVRs have HC when you are a buyer though!

(Well, if you are me they do!)

Best advice is just get in drive the the thing.

I realise that and Im not losing any sleep over it having 20(TVR)BHP less. Just never understood why people bother to put it in the adverts if they are all HC.
I guess ther emust be a few people that bought a car advertised as HC thinking it was a good thing and so are selling it in the same light.

Come on, who started it?!

[DustyC]

would it be safer to say nobody really knows what HC stands for?

Heavanly Convertible perhaps?

On a Griff it is probably worth only a 5 minute argument and not the full half hour...

I think you better change that to half a week!
