THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…

-

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster Been shamed into assessing its condition after the MX-5 Owners’ Club calendar arrived. March’s car is essentiall­y my Eunos – only cleaner.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Attempting to sort out the 406’s suspension – complete with 21 years of grime – is proving trickier than anticipate­d during lockdown fettling.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport Sad to say that the lousy weather and latest lockdown have convinced me to SORN the Jag rather than get it MoT’d and serviced as planned.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR 1994 JEEP Cherokee A surprising­ly involved internet search has netted me the last of the missing interior trim pieces I’ve been looking for; they’re coming from a yard in Wales, apparently.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Car tax time, and once more I’m cursing that – amazing, but true – a 1.8 Peugeot 306 pays the same as a contempora­ry V12 Lamborghin­i.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Resolution to use it more this year hasn’t got off to the best of starts. I blame the lockdown, but should really be using it for shopping trips…

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R 1996 SAAB 900 S Convertibl­e It’s two months since my Saab went off for the simple job of having its exhaust fitted. Tiers and lockdowns mean that I haven’t seen it since.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE 1986 SAAB 900 Another ‘tucked away’ vehicle but hope there will be some good news soon about its future. Definitely an interestin­g project! ALSO ON THE FLEET David Brown 1999 Rover 200 BRM. Steve Berry 1970 Reliant Scimitar. Richard Kilpatrick 1992 Jaguar XJS. John Lakey 1984 Opel Monza. Nick Larkin 1960 Austin A55. Alex Riley 1981 Triumph TR7 Conv. James Taylor 1950 Rover P4. Fuzz Townshend Austin 7 Special.
