Welcome to the Classic Car Group.

I am pleased to say "Welcome to the Classic Car Group." Many thanks to Geoff for making this possible.

The idea of the group is to encompass areas such as:-

-Body shop Reccomendations

-Local Garage Reccomendations

-Helpful Motorfactors

-Local Area Meet Ups

-Local Show Reccomendations

and last but not least an area where people with a like minded passion can chat about their vehicles and share advice.

I am the point of contact for the group so if anyone has any questions or problems then feel free to contact me via PM.

I can't think of anything else to say at the moment, other than if you have a passion for classic cars, you either own one, or dream of getting one, then get posting.

Is this only for 4 wheels or can 2 join in?

BMW e30 Tourer

BMW e21 mothballed

Triumph Spitfire MKiv 1972

The e30 is exceptionally nice

The e21 is requiring some TLC

and the Spitty needs to have another engine fitted ASAP

so if anyone know's anybody with a spare engine hoist for Sale or one I could borrow I would be most grateful.

What do you reckon Skatie

should we let the vehicularly challenged in?

would it be sizest to say NO?

I think he ought to be included as surely it's about Classic transport that's loved by those on the forum

even if it doesn't have a steering wheel.

Wow what a GREAT idea. At last, drivers of what some non educated people refer to as "old bangers" gain some space!! Prefer an old/classic car ANY day of the week, and would not be seen in a modern car unless it was a taxi!

My collection at present comprises 5 complete MK I FIESTA's, being a 1977 1.1L on 'S' plate (SORN, under restoration) 1977 1100 L on 'R' plate, 1981 1100 L on 'W' plate, 1983 1300 GL on 'X' plate, and another 1981 1100 L currently under some restoration but still active. Always looking for more, and got my eye on 2 on Ebay as we speak....

WISH LIST:

Ultimate classics for me,

FIESTA 1300 Ghia, auto-choke variant, final revision 1983 'Y' plate model, last production run saw heaps of extras before the MK 2 was born...plus seeking various 'special editions of the MK I like the original Firefly, etc

FORD ZODIAC EXECUTIVE MK 4 Manual version, 1972 final revision model before model dropped...

HILLMAN HUNTER GLX, 1971/2 models

CORTINA MK 2 1600 GT, 1971 final revision model before MK 3's

Nothing amazingly sporty there essentially, thats not really me, but I know what I like and I like what I want....

great idea, Skatie! However, my 93 BMW isn't classic just yet, classy, yes, classic nope...
