THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…
DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ] 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE
Got its latest addition – a Drive-It Day plaque – on order. It raises cash for charity, so I’d encourage you all to do the same ahead of 25 April.
JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ] 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé
Braced for more bills in order to nurse the Pug back to health. Still, at least lockdown means that there’s no immediate rush to take it anywhere.
MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ] 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport
Will have been in for its service and MoT by the time you read this. Fingers crossed it doesn’t fail on account of having four square tyres…
JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ] 1996 VOLVO 960
Investigating new shock absorbers for the front of the 960; they’re pretty tired after 155k, as you might expect. Good power steering pump should land soon, too.
CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v
New battery has solved the charging problem – a big relief as readers who remember my relationship with my old 205’s charging system will know.
CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC
Decided I will be applying for historic vehicle exemption next month – it’s just a shame that I have to pay six months’ tax before I do…
RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ] 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate
The sale of my old flat in the mighty Peterborough has proved, yet again, just how superb big Volvo estates are as removals vans. And cheaper too.
NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ] 1989 AUSTIN Maestro
Now it’s taxed, the Maestro has spent a week in frontline service while the Rover 75 is in the dock. Will hopefully get to some shows soon! ] ALSO ON THE FLEET David Brown 1999 Rover 200 BRM.
