THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

❚ 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Hurrah – it’s finally got through its MoT! Now all I need to do is crack on with all the other niggling little jobs that need doing on it. I might be a while…

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

❚ 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Roadworks forced me on to winding B-roads. I’d forgotten how good this car is in sweeping corners. It’s not just a straight-line cruiser, that’s for sure.
