Age is nothing to do with it... I think its a man thing...lol
I used to have a 1962 Ford Consul 375 which I took to shows, It was a great day out. We all (even the missus) enjoyed the shows.

Very nice.

Did think about building a Blackjack Avion once (bonkers 2CV based 3 wheeler kit car). It looked so much fun, and something you could spank the living daylights out of without getting in too much trouble. [smiley=evil.gif]

Hi Miggy
If your after a Hillman Minx, you can have mine for £300.00 about 10 months tax and MOT,1961 vintage nice condition underneath(black painted inc inside wheel arches). Interior needs work as 2 door panels are missing.
Bad points are it has been hand painted. and engine runs a bit rough.

Is a senior rating actually ALLOWED to drive a 2CV ??

I'm sure there's something in QR's that prevents it ...   :)

Section 69 springs to mind .....  :)

for those that don't know ....

"Conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline"

:)

Liked the Wolseley 1500 - I had a 63 Riley 1.5 (same shape as the Wolseley but better trim, uprated head with twin SUs) - eventually i fitted tuned MGB guts incl overdrive gearbox.  Remember i really liked that car.

For a period fun vehicle get yourself a TR!!

Nice car and a good site but as you do i had a look to see what else was for sale and i think my wife might kill me as i found some nice MK2 cavalier's. Some people might think that nice and cavalier are two words that don't go together but when i started driving that was what i had.
