Re: Remaining GT's

I think the GT I had is still alive in Ireland. The last photos I saw of it it was still on its UK number plates but doing a check on it now it just shows as exported. It was in excellent condition so should still be alive unless its had an accident.

Re: Wanted 1.8/1.7 Differential - Urgent

It might be easier for him to locate one fron a TR7 from one of the Triumph breakers.

Re: E10 Petrol

I've been running my Ital van on E10 with an additive and haven't noticed any difference in performance or consumption. It still pulls really well when loaded up.

Re: Forums or Facebook?

Hi Barry, as you know I've had marina's for well over 25 years now, (yes Matty I'm getting on now lol) and as I have a few other classics as well I dip in and out of other club forums but I've always been a solid marina club member. I find our club the most helpful and welcoming and we are quite a c...

Re: Marina Diesel at AR Online

Did they sell stuff off from there when it closed then or was everything just crushed. The picture of the yellow allegro looked like it should have been in a showroom.

Re: New Marina purchase/new Owner

Welcome, that looks really nice and solid. I don't like those huge US spec bumpers though, our slim MK2 ones with the rubber strip and over riders suit the cars much better.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Took the estate up to Scotland for the weekend and enjoyed the Moffat show today and nice road run yesterday. Car ran perfect after its cylinder head rebuild. Only saw 1 other marina up there, a sandglow mk2 that I see there every year but I've never seen the owner. He probably says the same when he...

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Then a massive turn out of classic cars, landrovers and tractors today. I've got to say well done to A...

Re: SVD 512 R

I had it about 7 year ago and it was very solid then but think it has had a hard life since. Shame about the rear quarter damage but I was still tempted to buy it back incase it ended up being broken for its engine. Hope it hasn't ended up in that Liverpool scrapyard.

BMC/BL show Peterborough is no more!

Just read in Classic Car Buyer newspaper today that the BL show in August has been cancelled and that last years anniversary show was their last. Such a shame, always been a good show and we used to enjoy the camping even though we noticed those numbers have dropped the last couple of years.
