CCW’s latest car updates

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR 1972 MGB GT

The Bumblebee’s been to Anglesey for a weekend away with my parents. No reports of it breaking down, either – the car’s clearly on best behaviour!

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR 2000 MAZDA MX-5 NB

Hasn’t moved in so long that the tyres are past their best. I reckon a new set of boots is going to be top of the list before it returns to the road…

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR 1977 MG Midget 1500

Plotting a couple of hours’ break from yet another weekend spent clearing the garage out to get the old boy cleaned. It looks like a barn-find at the moment!

MURRAY SCULLION NEWS EDITOR 1996 MAZDA MX-5

Another week of neglect for the MX-5, though I have bought a new steering wheel for it. And guess what? My Renaultsport Clio is still for sale…

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

A morning at Robsport saw the Triumph’s rear suspension transformed. The B-road drive home was a delight – full report to come soon.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR AT LARGE 1989 AUSTIN Maestro

Enjoyed itself at Peterborough Classic Car Show, despite my unsuccessful attempt to swap it for a Chevrolet Corvette. Well, you can only ask!

RICHARD BARNETT MARKETS EDITOR 2002 JAGUAR X-type

Toddling around Llanelli and Carmarthen and it never ceases to amaze me just how well this stellar-mileage motor drives.

DAVID BROWN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR 1972 VW T2 Camper

Managed to get three longhorn cattle in the back. Fortunately it was just a framed picture of said creatures, so no mess for me to clear up!
