Seen other post. I accept I'm wrong - twice 😁

Just spotted this after my comment about main beam. The wiring diagram, if I'm reading it right, has the fuse ahead of the switch, therefore if it blows you have no headlights at all

So you wouldn't have had main beam either then?

Accuspark in my 13/60 since 2015 nothing to say against it.

My 13/60 has a flash function. For flashing in general see Doug's other site

I wondered why the forum colours had changed. I never met the man nor his missus but did once work at one of their 'houses' Buck Palace, many years ago. Was able to have a good look round, perk of the job. The news here has devoted quite a lot of time to his death and his past life. Great respect for him over here.

DVD3500: You're correct. With the proviso about the value limits, I too haven't got my head around that yet. It is made even more confusing as my wife buys lots of embroidery stuff from a firm in Scotland so far not a single centime in taxes, although the orders are quite small as a rule and mostly European manufacture, or at least not declared as other than that. The cars would count as UK manufacture I'm sure. The rules relate to the percentage of the value originating in the UK. This works for goods from the UK to the EU. The other way round ? Good question one would assume the agreement is the same but I can't swear to it, I've had no need to look it up.

No, Starring Mr Blobby

You stole that phrase from Benjamin Franklin's FB page !

I've seen the same stuff. In a 60s Sci Fi 'B' film

Do you mean buying them as scrap and exporting them to the UK? If so it would/could be more difficult now you are no longer in Europe. The same would apply to shipping them as cars no doubt.

There's another site that posts the same type of thing. Very annoying as they very often look as if they could be saved, or at least some bits could be.

s collection once it is 30 years old and is fairly standard, same class of engine for example - no fitting a vitesse motor into a Herald.

Hate to be pedantic . . .but . . . Only "vehicles de collection" benefit from the 1960 cut off, "normale" still need one every 2 years. Vehicles de collection newer than that require a CT every 5 years ( normal is 2 years). The Spits, GT6s and I even spotted the back end of what I think was a Stag could be "collection". a car can be classed a

"Zut alors!", "mercredi" ou même "putain de gâchis" A nice little Covid confinement project there, not sure how the 2CV got in. In the few photos that do show number plates apart from those that aren't too damaged to read there is one that I am certain has been 'touched up' to hide the last part of the plate, which would have been the department number where the car was last registered.

In my 13/60 I get in the lower end of the 30's.

Yes, people like that should be banned from the forum they give the rest of us a bad name.

Being retired is worse than working you don't get holidays, sick leave, weekends off, bank holidays . . . It is 7 days a week 52 weeks a year 😒

Arrived here last week-end, we're going to keep it for a good few days yet. If there is any left then we might let you have some as a friendly gesture. As for convertibles being better anti-covid. I have tried it and so far no bad effects, will repeat the experiment at the weekend to double check 😁

Yes, welcome Martin and as already been said 'the madhouse', 'friendly bunch and a lot of knowledge' and a bit weird into the bargain at times

👍

My friend has got his bits back. He got a call late on Tuesday and collected them yesterday. Neither the company doing them nor my friend wanted to risk one or both departments being confined again. I haven't seen the items yet. My friend is very pleased with the results, after painting they get 3 coats of varnish. He told me over the phone that another Simca Aronde owner had all the trim done over 3 years ago and they still look very good. As a price guide a bumper that didn't need and dents etc. sorted out the price is about 500 Euros rising to 600 if the old chrome is really difficult to remove.

All I can say is that the top one, from memory, looks like the version on my 13/60.

Oh,Oh. How far is it between Luton & Downham Market? You might be saved by the fact that by the time he got there he most likely will have forgotten why he went.

Had mine longer than you but not as long as Pete. 😁
