  1. When the TSSC was set up in 1977, the oldest Herald was less than twenty years old. I always thought twenty years was the definition of a classic car originally. Is it just with age that twenty years doesn't seem that old?
  2. Just a note on axle stands. 3 legs are more stable than 4 unless your floor is perfectly level.
  3. The milage on the speedo says 39819 So could be 39819 or 139819 or not original Speedo πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  4. I had a dog poo brown 1300 Dolly about 10+ years ago as my daily. Drove it to Solihull plant for a year and during that time they introduced a nice brown colour. Always hoped it was because someone had seen my Dolly in the car park 😁 It was a nice car to drive and do regret selling
  5. Back on topic The Professionals cars And the rest is television history – Sunshine. Rover 3500 SD1. ... Triumph TR7. ... Triumph Dolomite Sprint. ... Other BL Vehicles. ... Ford Escort RS2000 Mk. ... Ford Capri Mk. ... Ford Granadas. ... Ford Cortinas.
  6.

  7. Nope they've gone through the roof, the BMW is the cheapest
  8. Cheapest James Bond car you can buy
  9. Ford were always good a product placement. In the Sweeney they had a clause that said no Ford to be driven by criminals, therefore the Jags were the baddies. It changed after 1989 though. Look at the latest James Bond films and Ford and it's then product line were all over them. Even a new Mondeo before they were released.
  10. They would have carried on with them, but BL couldn't deliver the same cars every time so Ford took over πŸ«£πŸ™„πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  11. Very nice, need to get motivated and progress with mime .πŸ™„πŸ«£
  12. What was wrong with this one?
  13. The club shop supplies good stainless exhaust systems
  14. Remember MOT exempt doesn't mean Road worthy exempt. Worse thing ever when they bought this in. The amount of classics for sale stating MOT exempt and haven't had one for years is scary.
  15. Idiots, I almost wiped one out, one dark morning in the van (not intentionally) they got a good talking too πŸ™„
  16. Boron is only used in small parts of the body, i.e. door strengthening and dash strengthening. All other panels are normal steel or aluminium. It is a b'stard to weld or rivet tho, but not used in the majority of panels in the body.
  17. I think there should be an option for either physical or digital. I personally would prefer digital as a pdf and I'm in the UK.
  18. Well the Triumph Acclaim did become a Rover 200
  19. I had a dog poo brown Dolly about 15 years ago that had Ziebart and it was solid. Wish my current TR7 had πŸ™„πŸ˜’
  20. Yes MOT needed, madness the exempt rule
  21. Plenty of options if you search dog harness for car. We have a harness with a short lead that gets put through seat belt
