THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEETÉ

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

❚ 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Stayed firmly indoors during Storm Ciara – ended up going to the MG and Triumph Spares Day (page 10) in our £1k Challenge Galant instead.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

❚ 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé

Wondering what to do with the V6’s broken diesel predecessor. Break it for spares, or take up an offer from Jon Burgess to add it to his fleet?

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

❚ 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport

Just discovered that Jaguar’s own X300 – the last one ever made, no less – is almost identical to mine. Great minds, and all that…

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR

❚ 1994 JEEP Cherokee Limited

The Jeep is now clean after I ran out of talent down a green lane. The two front tyres went flat – so they’ve been replaced by a pair of spares off a post-facelift XJ.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD EVENTS EDITOR

❚ 1999 BMW 318Ti

Wondering if radiator grille covers are still a thing because the morning wait for the heater to get warm is proving to be rather uncomfortable.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Realised that so far this month I have run further than the TR7 has been driven. I think maybe I’ve made the wrong New Year’s Resolution…

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR

❚ 1994 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta

Said it wasn’t going to snow last issue. Then it snowed – just not enough for the Panda to properly enjoy itself. But still, there was minor slippery fun…

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE

❚ 2003 MG ZR

Still providing reliable front line service. Nice and warm in this cold weather, too – mainly because the heater fan control is stuck on.
