Charlie D Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Day trip to Wickes. I wasn't sure how well the timber would fit. These were 2.4m long, but I recon I could have got 3m in without a problem. The boot rack came in useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used my old TR4A (in the 70's) to bring a washing machine home from Comet to wash the football kit. Mum wouldn't ;let me use hers. Front seat out = bags of room.

RogerH Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Today I didn't use my TR but I went to see a TR4A at the Farnborough auction - on this Saturday 11th. A bit embarrassing really ALL the cars bar one were beautiful/magnificent/stunning. Except for the Aunt Sally 4A. Yet it was asking top dollar £22K - £27K for a car with serious paint issues and possibly other unknown disasters. However not all was awful. There was a TR6 on 3xWebers + roll over cage and very nice paint work £13K - £15K with NO reserve. And there was a stunning Facel Vega for just £100k - £150K My pockets were nervously shaking.

Z320 Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) Hi, out with my TR4A yesterday to help me 81 years old dad with house issues I drove by an opened garage door of a neighbor only 100 m away from his house and noticed this: First time I've seen this car (Jensen 541) in real life and made me remember a C-V8 that has been the 1st price in a charity tombola of a German classic car magazin some years ago. Had a nice chat with the owner and his wife, also kidding his dog. Both our cars have about the same green color, his a bit dusty. Like me he hoped to win the C-V8, but sadly we both did not. Looking under the bonnet I gave him the advice to kick the "nice" petrol filter in the bin, which he fitted newly. Ciao, Marco Edited May 11 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted Saturday at 06:32 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:32 PM I first visited Grimspound in the late 1960's, long before 'archaeology' became mainstream and fashionable - most people didn't know such places existed. In those days I had my first car - a 100E Anglia - and being basically skint, I had camped out in it near Dartmeet. Gosh that's a long time ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
