They look like a team of emergency window cleaners with the content of the roof rack :lol:

I miss that car but it was a love/hate relationship. The more love I gave it, the more hate it gave me back :lol: I hope the new owner finds this site as it makes P6 ownership much easier. I know you know, but that pic was on the film set of "Northern Soul", your autobiography? :lol:

Applied for Ripon (and Fleetwood Dock) but the naughty boys are favouring Ripon, so probably be there.

About time there was an update Ray, good going. Are you and Tomi booked in for Chipping?

My Securons had to be vertical, their operation could be tested with a quick yank on the belt whilst stationary. My Rover ones needed for and aft vehicle movement. That's why I changed them, I didn't want to know that 42yr old safety belt mechanics had failed when the car stopped, and I...

Looking good Ray, I like the C pillar vent. John.

The usual reply is: "My car, my rules".

I had this problem with some NOS Spax coil over adjustables bottoming out, I had Police spec rear springs fitted at the same time, it was only noisy on the off side. It knocked out the shock absorber bushes on the off side in no time so I went back to standard shock absorbers. The noise stopped.

Getting there Ray, getting there, but have you actually a definite idea where there is...... :lol: I cannot wait to see this in the flesh. John.

Re: Job lot of parts sale, Nr Lancaster Cheers for prompt collection Chris, a pleasure doing business with you. Very nice looking pickup truck as well! :lol: I wouldn't have dared to put those boxes on the back seat. John.

I'm retired, I'll drive it around the block.

Re: Job lot of parts sale, Nr Lancaster Wow that was quick, I'll Pm my telephone number. John.

Due to selling my P6b I'm having a clear out, I haven't time/inclination to sell this lot separately so £150 takes it. Decent series 2 dash top, small hole where the end of the stick points. Badge bar. 2 rear number plate plinths, one good, one pitted. 2 mirrors, one Winguard, one Desmo very...

Tube drill is what I used: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16179&start=30 John.

Nooooo! I have sold my almond P6b, but I have a Skoda Yeti as my daily, am I eternally doomed to be a pariah? :shock:

I announced it in the lounge about 3 weeks back Stina. It got caught out by the 3yr rule, I change my classic every 3yrs regardless. The Rover was bought in 2010 so had been living on borrowed time. I got a deal which suited me, so it went. I've been using my Mk1 Escort since and I've been...

Be prepared for prices going through the roof now that I have sold mine :shock: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C524658 John.

After 3 1/2yrs the 3yr rule had to be enforced and I've sold my V8, keep an eye on the Ace Classics (Leeds) site on Ebay and CarandClassic websites. It was with mixed emotions I waved her off to pastures new. But my Mk1 Escort which has been in the family for over 20yrs, (the only car the...

Have a good one Mick, I dare not ask about the above picture, Stricken with a spasm whilst praying to the great god Rover? That's old age for you. :lol: John.

Twas a very good day Ray, and good to see you and Tomi again. Sadly it was the last show for the Rover and me. She is currently in quarantine in the garage awaiting a low loader next week, she's not mine anymore :( See you both at Lytham hall though :) John.

I'll just park these here, http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C516463 http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C516348

I'm considered strange (yeah I know :lol: ) by my friends, in that I change my classic cars every 3yrs. I have followed this rule for too many years now and never varied, I've had cars from the 30's,40's,50's,60's,70's. My V8 is on borrowed time as I bought her in 2010, and now the Mk1 Escort...

"Polite cars do not draw pretty patterns in the car park" but big dogs always mark their turf.... :wink: John

A new old stock boxed pair of Mk1 Escort indicators have just sold for £720 on Ebay. I just paid £60 for some repro ones. £720!!!!! :shock:

I bought, and fitted, a badge bar, but I thought it looked a bit Old Fogey ish, so it's in the spares dept. (but if I get some plaid slippers for Christmas...... :lol: ) John.
