Here is a picture of my 1963 Triumph TR4 which I have owned since 1997.



At the ferry port with an eclectic bunch of classics after Classic Le Mans 2012.



In 2011, I bought this 1975 Triumph Stag to accompany the TR. It has proved to be the perfect GT and has taken us to Spa, Reims and touring around Flanders.

My new toy



That's lovely, I see some non standard bits so what spec is it running?
It's standard with the exception of air filter & works exhaust manifold.
Looks immaculate-Fully re-built? Nice little catch tank too.

Taken 2012 @Prescott. Later found out the anti-roll bar bracket had snapped off...


Dreadful line around that corner - second run was better wink

Is that a GT6 engine or just the bonnet?

Take it you've got swing-spring suspension too... biggrin

Yes straight 6. Found out when I got home that one of the brackets that attaches the anti roll to the chassis had broken which wasn't helping the front.... and yes, swing spring on the rear wink

Front right tyre is almost being pushed off the rim too.

Since pic was taken I've rebuilt the suspension.

Great fun.

Seeing as VW's are featuring at the moment here's my contribution, complete with a 1960's pedal car I imported from California for my son (who's only 2 months old so will have to wait a bit!) -



I found the car in a barn years and years ago and this winter I'm finally going to get round to playing with it.

Here is some of my current classics:




1971 mini cooper S rep, with and without it's magnetic warpaint! 1380 Swiftune engine, 600kg and full cage etc. Use it for sprints / hillclims as well as taking my daughter to school occasionally. Have had great fun after rescuing it abandoned rotting on a driveway. Won the Brooklands Double Twelve in it 2013, got a second in class at the Crystal Palace Sprint the same year, but this year this happened...........
