Lets see a picture of your classic(s)

[Escort3500]

Pretty sure it’s not The Talbot. The two main entrances are much more ornate than that.

Is that a '51 J2?

Hi,

Yes, running a 305ci ford flathead V8, can be quite scary.

I was looking at the pic in Rob’s profile:

There’s a fanlight above the door and the window above is offset, so I don’t reckon it is The Talbot (nb top geekery )

Bah. Thought I’d cracked it. Thanks anyway.

That is ace, and the want is high! Come the lottery win, a yellow or red Elan Sprint DHC is first...

My current fleet. I'm just after a W213 in black or brown now!

Nice fleet. I'd like to see more of the green one closest to the camera.

I'll see if I can dig some out. It's a 280 TE, hard to find one of them which isn't a dog. The maroon one a few pages back looks beautiful too.

Cracking line up there

Can you point me in the direction of the tyre type please? They really set it off.

Is it the ex Lord Hanson 280TE?

I would assume, at the price, they aren't the finest quality. When I bought my car it had ancient mix of strange name tyres so switching to these made a big reduction to road noise and gave better grip.

I wish I'd found those tyres before I bought a set of Uniroyals for my Coupe, I think those thin white wall tyres really suit the W123.

Good eye, yes it is. I slightly overpaid, reached my limit at the auction and the auctioneer got 1 more bid out of me.

I'm really happy with it, ticks all the boxes.

I love a thin band whitewall. Always have.

I had a V12 E which I sold a few years ago which still had the original Dunlops.
This it the very best a V12 E can look IMO

Is that a commemorative, vpr? Absolutely lovely!

So it's now official on PH - thin whitewalls are de rigueur on some classics

Nope... all whitewalls, including redwalls, are naff
