My '68 ID 21 Break in Athens. Nut and bolt resto. Can't get enough of it. The child seat in matching colour fabric was a very lucky find and suits the car to a tee. Great conversation starter.

Wonderful. Lovely car.

My classic sports car is a 1972 De Tomaso Pantera, restored and modified over the past 4 years.
God I love that.

Always had a soft spot for a Pantera since my dad randomly bought one in a pub one night and came home in it when I was about 9 years old.

"Can't get enough of it" - I was wondering how you managed to get any of it at all given the draconian restrictions in Greece on driving Classics. Lovely car by the way.

Threes are some free days allowed, plus nobody is really enforcing the restrictions.

Lovely. Drove the 1.6 version of one of these soon after I’d bought an XR3. Soon realised my mistake. The Pug was far better in almost every respect.

Smashing cars, I had a silver 1.6 and then a black 1.9 from new. Loved that car...

The first car I bought was a 1.6 in gunmetal. Replaced it with the 1.9, also in gunmetal.

For me, the only points that the XR3 scored over the Pug was build quality and finish. The Pug was really quite tinny and the interior wore badly.

Echo everyone’s comments. Had three in total. All 1.9s, all different colours, all fantastic!

G reg one new in silver, ex-demo ... company car.

Then after changing jobs to one without a car, E reg in graphite grey, superb.

Finally, J reg in white. Again, superb!

Here is my XK150 ready to go through a full rebuild. It was off the road for 40 years and unbelievably hardly any rust!

My ‘67 MGB GT V8 Sebring, just got it, had a body restoration last year into this year, 3.9 Rover on carb, LT77 box, Frontline suspension front and rear, Willwood 4pots on the front. Interior looking a bit tired as is the engine bay but nothing that can’t be sorted in time. Electrics will be first up on the list some switches working some not......

I had to think how many GTI I've owned through the years, luckily I've written most down, here are all my Peugeot 205 cars, most 1.9 GTI because I loved how they drove back in the years, all second hand cars.

Had this for several years and it now runs with a Citroen XM V6 3l 24V engine with Toyota 4age throttle bodies.
Goes pretty well.
