1969 series 1 Lancia Fulvia, equipped for regularities. Not really used since 2003 but regularly started and occasionally MOT'd, currently sorn'd but will be getting it MOT'd in April / May when I'm back in the UK. Should really sell it but every time I get to see it I just can't do it, great cars and one day it'll get some real use again

If you do ever really want to sell it then drop me a line please 
1959 MGA Twin Cam. Totally stripped and bits are scattered all round the garages, sheds and even in the house.
Lady S is fed up with front wings under the spare beds and periodically has a whinge about this project even being started. I tell her "manana", she thinks that's "tomorrow" but I'm using the literal Spanish translation of "not today"

A 1973 GT6 which is at the start of recommissioning, well more of a restoration 
. Under the bench, literally, is a chrome bumper MGB roadster that is in the same state. It was left to me by a friend and apparently has spent some time abroad until 1979, I suspect this time was as ballast on the Titanic given the state of it but we do what me must!
I also have my bikes, a 1986 GSXR 750, my RD200 from when I was 18 and my little racebike.All of them need something or other to various extents
I share my garage with a couple of friends who have amongst other things a Kadett Coupe having a full resto and various loony off road contraptions and bikes.

The Frodo fleet:
1968 Triumph Spitfire Mk3 - the missus' daily. Great nick mechanically and a solid chassis, but the paintwork is sh*te. When my OH goes to Afghanistan in July this'll be put in for a respray - a surprise pressie for when she gets back!
1974 Reliant Scimitar SE5a - my long term project. I was given this for free a few years ago, and it's in pretty good nick despite a small underbonnet fire. Biggest issue is a rotten chassis, so the body will be coming off soon for me to tackle it. It'll be put back together with a full cage and a breathed-on Essex to be a weekend/fast road/track car and to be a backup for...
Reliant Kitten V8 ex-Special Saloon race car - my racer and one which I don't think I'll ever sell! Full spaceframe, ZF gearbox, Image wheels and big slicks Currently having a full stainless custom exhaust including manifolds made up. First race this season is at Lydden Hill (600+ miles away!) on Apr 6. Will go away for a custom loom when I go to Afghanistan in November.
I'm nearly 30, I have all of these and still have 'classic cars <£1000 < 100 miles' as an eBay search...

Singer Chamois waiting for me to replace the twin 40s with a pair of HS2s, and across the back silencer and some bodywork repairs (sharp edges rather than rust).
Clan Crusader waiting for me to install the engine (fully sorted 998cc making perhaps 115bhp @ 8700rpm) and transaxle (with CR/SC 3rd & 4th and a new Quaiffe ATB diff).
Davrian not really needing anything apart from some minor fettling, new fluids and general inspection of all the mechanical bits as it hasn't moved in the last three years. And four new slicks.
I have the time and money to either do stuff to my house or do stuff to my cars - currently the house is more urgent, so the cars are being ignored!

1976 Datsun 260Z. Nice little garage find
In the process of getting it rolling (hasn't moved for 20 years) and stripping out the interior before it goes of to the shop at the end of the month for full body restoration.
Pics if interested...
