THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ] 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Tucked up in bed at the moment due to new fatherhood duties. I’ll give it some love though this weekend, I promise…

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Suspect it won’t be getting much use now that Boris has announced a second national lockdown. Great time to sort out its foibles, though.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ] 2001 MGF 1.8i Charger deployed to resurrect a battery that wasn’t exactly flat, but lacked the oomph to fire the engine. Must. Turn. Engine. Over. Every. Week.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ] 1993 PEUGEOT 605 SRDT I’ve been shopping for the parts needed to get the 605 another MoT – I’ve got everything I need apart from a top boost pipe.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Third time’s the charm, at least that’s how many attempts it has taken me to get my new steering wheel straight.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Awaiting a free weekend for its coolant change. Either that or it’s waiting until my week off later next month.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ] 1994 SAAB 900S Convertible Advised by Saab’s previous owner that Sainsbury’s Stain Remover for Colours is the best product for cleaning mould off the soft-top.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ] 1989 AUSTIN Maestro A reduction in vehicle numbers is called for so and a friend is interested in the Maestro – is it time to say goodbye?
