THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ] 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE

Spending a week away from the CCW office getting it up and running again – and getting several months’ worth of dust washed off.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6

Really need to replace all six spark plus as a matter of urgency. Three are easy to access, the other three not so much. Watch this space!

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ] 2001 MGF 1.8i

Stepped into the school run breach when the daily modern failed to proceed, but the wretched ‘check engine’ light’s back on again…

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ] 1996 VOLVO 960

Currently pricing up replacement shocks and drop links for the front end; met up with a friend recently but had trouble keeping up with his BMW Z3 2.8.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v

Tried fitting some fresh B-pillar trim – made an absolute mess of it. At least it peels off easily. May need to seek some professional help.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

After initally being turned away from my local Post Office (and making a subsquent phone call to the DVLA) my logbook’s been sent off so the TR7 can become tax-exempt.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ] 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate

After the bonnet jam incident, the 960’s days with me are numbered. Anybody got a good 240 estate, preferably a leather-clad version?

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ] 1994 ROVER 216i

Bodywork being tidied up to keep rust at bay – tempted by the quote for re-paint though!
