Apologies if this has been done somewhere before but I thought it would be good to see what is out there and hopefully get the motivation going to get your classic out in the coming sunny months.

This is my lot (a bit of a mixed bag)







Great mix - the C-type is one of my favourite cars of all time. Better looking than an E-type IMO!
A friend has an alloy-bodied Proteus that's very authentic. What's yours?

I haven't driven my M635 for a while due to the crap weather and salty roads and it's been a miserable time.
It always puts a big grin on my face and the exhaust note is something else!
I am planning to take it to a local retro cars meet next Wednesday evening in Sheffield.

Yes she`s just had a new MOT....I use her more than the Rangie. It`s a 635 manual I saved last year. The rangie is more interesting as she was origanally built for Colin Chapman according to the Heritage Certificate and only done 40,000 miles!

That Talisman is great!


Here's my old old classic Mk 2 Morris Mini - 998cc, twin SU's with Cooper 12G head and S discs by me, rubbish arches and dubious colour by previous owner. Genuine LHD import into North America in 1969.




And here's my new new classic which the Mini had to make way for. Its on classic insurance so I guess it just qualifies.

1991 2 owner 964 Carrera 2 - 56k miles - celebrity connection - first owner was Bruce Springsteen's dentistbiggrin

Looks like you're also in New Jersey?

I saw a nice 1275 Wood and Pickett Mini in Norwood Yesterday... rhd import though. Had a nice chat with the owner, he's into Catherams!

Yep - emigrated to Morristown in '98 - now Parkway Exit 137.

Coincidentally I sold the Morris to guy who has quite a Lotus collection.

There's a great C&C meet in Chatham. Vintage British to modern exotica. Worth a look if you're in the area.

Me too, I really like the early 911's but being a non-spanner twirler pushed me towards the later car's. Had to be air/oil cooled tho' wink
