    Calton Wakes

    If any friends with Rovers would like to attend our village fete, known as 'The Wakes' on Aug 27th this year they would be assured of a hearty welcome, several cups of tea and cakes and some good craic. At the moment for my stall I have a couple of classics (mine and a VW or two) stationary...

    Wiper switch problem

    I think I have a problem with my wiper switch on my 1965 2000. The two speed switch now only has one position before going sloppy and turning all the way round and the wipers don't come on. The washers work perfectly. Any suggestions gratefully received. Does this sound expensive or is it a...

    Detailing switches

    Any suggestions for re-detailing the symbols on my Series 1 dashboard and column switches? The white detailing has worn away on some and needs re-doing. Is there a fine pen or something similar which would be appropriate and would be a long-lasting answer? It strikes me as being a fiddly job...

    London Tan front seats wanted

    If anyone knows of a pair of front seats for a 1965 car in the colour London Tan - it's that almost orangey-brown shade - I'd be incredibly grateful. The rest of the interior is OK, although I'm working on the dash at the moment, but I don't think the original seats can be economically improved.

    Compatible spares - 1970 TC spares fit 1965 SC?

    I've been offered some spares from a J-reg TC, including things like carbs, radiator, alternator etc. How much of the later car's kit is interchangeable with my early model? It's a really kind offer and fairly local to me so I'd very much like to take advantage of the stuff.

    Headlining clean-up - anyone got any recommendations?

    The headlining in my 1965 SC could do with a clean. It feels like a kind of oil cloth, but I'm not sure what the best proprietory stuff for getting out 39 years' grime would be. I tend to go for Autoglym products purely on reputation, but I'd be glad of any advice.

    Spare wheel cover for boot mounted spare - Anyone know the best place to buy one?

    Hi everyone I've just bought a 1965 Series 1 (my first classic car) and it is fitted with a boot-mounted spare. Could anyone tell me the best place to buy a cover for the wheel? I'm not bothered about logos etc, but just want to protect and keep wheel and boot lid clean. I've seen loads for...
