THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

❚ 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Blocked in by a new arrival at the Simister household – our £1k Challenge VW Polo. Suspect some driveway and garage rearranging is on the cards.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

❚ 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé

A bit tricky to justify taking the V6 out for ‘shopping for necessities’ when my nearest ASDA is within walking distance. Oh well, another time...

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

❚ 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport Doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere any time soon thanks to all that’s going on. Resorting to endless polishing and day-dreaming instead. [sigh]

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR

❚ 1995 SUBARU SVX

Glad I was able to take the SVX out for a run before travel measures were imposed. Had planned to take it back to Carnetix the following week to finish the work it had started…

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD EVENTS EDITOR

❚ 1999 BMW 318Ti

Came in handy for a trip to the rubbish tip, and was rewarded with a thorough clean afterwards – a rare thing in my ownership!

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

For the first time in my ownership, the TR7 has gone on SORN. No, I’m not happy about it either, but I don’t need it to be roadworthy to do the tinkering I’ve got planned.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR

❚ 1993 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta With not much else we’re currently allowed to do, I suspect the cars may be getting a thorough valet – Panda first, because it’s the smallest.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE

❚ 2003 MG ZR

Have attempted – unsuccessfully – to fix the MG’s heater/demister. The control knob on the dash quite obviously needs a new spline!
