Hello You need to be quick it goes out at 18.33 today. This is the one I have and the date on it is 1983 so I suppose I have had my monies worth out of it? The only mod is the switch box before it was on the lefthand side(frothe front) this one has the big button when the S**t hits the fan! Roger ps they have gone up a bit??? Sealey GDM120B 16 Speed Bench Pillar Drill Press GDM120B from Lawson HIS (lawson-his.co.uk)

Hello How about this one and local it would probably do all that you want? Bench Pillar Drill 240v | eBay Roger

Hello as PeteH says not worth the risk!!! but you could just use it to start them upright by hand in the Drill Press Roger

Hello There a loads on Fleabay it just depends what size you want and how much you want to pay? Not sure why you would want reverse on a pillar drill? Roger pbx pbxb350dp bench pillar drill | eBay

Why?

Hello All I converted to a Denso Alternator on our Spitfire 1500 and Mk1 Vitesse I went for the 45amp I think they are and you can get at No1 plug now Plus the other reason is we tour in Spain etc and I could get one anywhere if needed! Roger

Hello Colin When we got back last year a few weeks later they offered us discounted sailings for this year so we took a chance and booked So we Sail from Plymouth to Santander and back with a cheap inside cabine(its only less than 24hour crossing!) All for £671 !!! It would cost more to drive down through France and its a bloody long way so you would need a longer trip if you still want 2 weeks in Spain? Roger

Hello Danny Those are the ones I have ordered but all black I have replaced all the foam but drivers one is a bit Saggy (Like the Driver!) so I will add something to it. All the feed back on the site looked good and at £90 its not the end of the world if they are not perfect!! But you seem to think they are or very close to it. Roger ps had a run out with 2 TR6's today and no Memsahib so the old RED mist could come down a bit!!

Hello All A small Bottle! of vino and I thought sod it and they are ordered a bit less for the kids to spend when I kick the bucket (and they have had plenty believe me !!) They both would not be living where they are now if it was not for us! but my Mother was just as good to us on a lesser scale and as she said there is no pockets in Shrouds! Plus if we give it all away the state will have care for us instead of us paying for ourselves(I am not bitter! yes I am I paid in for 40!!! years and have been shafted BIG Time along with others who did the right thing and not P***sed up the wall?) Still Spain in 3 1/2 weeks and another adventure ? So come on all you Young people push the bounderies a bit and try it before you get to old! I promise once you get into it you Will enjoy it or money back(he said with fingers crossed behind his back!!) As you can tell a bit inubriated (what Me?) but life is short ? Sorry about the gloom but on a brighter note out on a thrash with 2 TR6's Tomorrow (Spitty can hold her own up to 60 ish as I recon she has best part of 100 bhp now and No Memsahib with me tomorrow as well! and new Shock Absorbers plus TR6's weigh a lot more so power to rate ratio is not that bad ? Plus overdrive on 2nd really works on twisty hills! Roger

Hello Doug I am not being picky but £90 compared to £346 plus p&p as I said it is not a Konkers car and not sure I would live long enough to get my wear out of them? Roger (The poor Pensioner!!)

Hello All My drivers seat base cover split today!! Now I know Park Lane Classics are top quaily but there will be a lead time and we are off to Spain in 3 1/2 weeks! So iI could do with a quicker fix? I have been Trawling Fleabay and saw these at a very cheap price! Now I know they will not be top quality(but neither an I at 77.5!!!!!!) and Spitty is not a Conkers car She get used (6,500 miles last year!) So I recon if they last 2 to 3 years at that price would be ok The foams I changed a few years ago and I can beef up the drivers one that is a bit Saggy (like me?) Triumph Spitfire & GT6 Seat Covers Black Vinyl with headrest covers PAIR | eBay So any thoughts please Roger ps Spain last year

Hello It has carbs as well Roger

Hello MrHappy! I have a Vitesse Mk2 one but it is unknown condition so I would say it is for rebuilding Not sure how many bits on it ? I think I haver a distributor with tacko drive I may have a starter somewhere nut sure about a dynamo and without lookingat can not rember if carbs are there? But I could do with moving it on but I and in the midlands by J4 M5!! Roger

Hello The Spitfire is us Plus we are off to Spain again this year before we get to old (77,5 and 74!) As my old mother said once you give something up you will never start it again! We think she is right ! Me and the Memsahib will have tiffs/arguments/etc but a bottle of vino later and all will be ok We will do the usual blog thingy ! We are going to do Castles etc and a bit of Pyreneers so what could go wrong? As I say the worst that could happen is you come home on the back of a breakdown truck So be brave and use your old cars as they so much more fun than the Shoping ones And trust me you will love it or money back ! Roger and the Memsahib ps just a taster and they love classic cars we have so many children and adults sit in Spitty you would not believe! Plus we think the Spanish are very friendly people not like the French! Plus they love Classic Cars because they are rare due to tax!

Hello All A british one Roger

The one is a fuel cooler as I run ITB EFI The one fan rarely comes on but was useful last year in Spain in about 40 degs The one that comes on first blows over the exhaust side to help bring the under bonnet heat down Roger

Hello All This how I did Spitty years ago 2 fans and a duel radiator switch and it works a treat even when touring Spain in the heat I have a centre off over ride switch with leds Roger

Hello Cliff We covered 6421miles this year. We went to Spain in June 1900miles Spa 6 hours September 1200/1300 miles. Plus out most Wednesdays with a small group of friends. On the Spain trip we were averaging 48/49 MPG!!!! But we had a lambda sensor fail and with the new one and having to remap the EFI we are only getting 40mpg? (I will sort it out in the spring!) We do have overdrive and it is a 28% unit so good for cruising on motorways. Plus we run EFI with ITB's so can tune it for better cruising! Plus the engine is fully balanced and ported and has a Newman PH2 cam (Fast road) and the block is decked with piston pop up etc Roger
