Only 40 miles out.

Quite good by my standards.

I was struggling with this until I realised that you meant Spar!

It reminds me of a magazine ad from forty-odd years ago where the packet of ham was 20 Rothmans.

Naunton classic show today, one of the weirdest things I've seen.




There's a dish on the front of the propshaft and another on the back of the engine one drives the other through friction and the 3 cyl radial engine pivots to change the gear ratio. When the engine is horizontal it's direct drive. Mad!

6,500 miles since new. Financially a goldmine... From an engineering and ethical viewpoint, a travesty, because such a superb car hasn’t fulfilled what it was conceived for.

It's a bit of a shame that none of us have seen it really...

Stumbled on this in Highgate this morning





Extra cooling in the front valence, twin pipes and massive arches suggest not all is standard here but I know nothing else. Has all amber US style front indicator units as well despite being RHD.

A 3.6 litre engine for starters according to DVLA.

Saw several classics on the M1 in Leicestershire yesterday, no pics sadly but most surprising was seeing two c.1970 Ford Zephyr MkIVs (the square shape one seen in 'Z Cars' etc), one of them had been converted into a campervan and was towing a large trailer. Shortly afterwards I overtook what looked like a Daimler Conquest heading north, finished in a beautiful shade of metallic 'sable' brown.

From memory we thought it the other way around at the time.

It was listed at COYS last year. Seems absurdly cheap for an orginal. Reg 113 ANO

The Coys Ascot Auction was in 2012 not 2018 so price was about right.
