Wow, have some updates.
I swapped the Belmont for a 2012 Astra van
IMG_8368 by srblythe, on Flickr
I sold the Astra van a while later because it was a bit rubbish.
I bought another 504 pickup, decided I had too much work to do on my other pickup then sold the one I'd bought a few weeks later.

I got some more step throughs, a 77 c90 and 91 c90 with a 110 pit bike engine.
I raffled off the white escort!

I decided to stick my other 504 in for an mot and sell my ranger.

The ranger sold instantly and the 504 failed its test on a few crusty bits!

Still have the silver v6 as a spares car, the red one went to a mate and the black gti did £10k. I still have another black 505 gtd turbo I'm keeping.

I bought a shonky left hand drive 305 van then raffled it.

Impreza took a winter of abuse then passed its mot with minimal work.
IMG_6741 by srblythe, on Flickr
I bought a shiny escort estate for £1800 and got back £4k when the time came.
We started our regular retro car meet at the bus museum so made some appropriate signage...

I bought a Wartburg with the 1.3 4 stroke vw knock off engine, I'd have preferred the earlier 2 stroke version. I raffled it and included delivery because it was so awful and found something equally crap for the return journey.

The return journey brought a Porsche 924 with dodgy electrics and a minging interior! I'm definitely raffling it next week.
This weeks car is the mk2 Astra.

2.9 straight diesel and dogleg gearbox. Goes well enough, seems fairly reliable but isn't going to win any races.
