EDITOR

 MAZDA Eunos Roadster Was prepped and ready as back-up for the London to Brighton run (page 2), but stayed at home in favour of a borrowed V8 MGB instead.

MANAGING EDITOR

 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Currently propped up on a set of axle stands as Papa Sadlier gets to work on the brakes, but there's also 22 years of rust to battle.

PRODUCTION EDITOR

‚ MGF 1.8i

Less than a month to go until Mglive! and the number of weekends I have left to give OHR the pampering it deserves are running out.

MARKETS EDITOR

 CITROËN C15 Romahome Back from the specialist and stopping better than ever. The wheels have been refurbishe­d, too so it’s already turning heads.

FEATURES EDITOR

 ‰ TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Battery isolator switch seems to be doing its job. It's Šred Šrst go each time I’ve come to start the TR7 after a week or so of inactivity.

SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

 œ FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta

It's nice to have the new exhaust on after months of noisiness. Radio 4 is now clear enough for me to listen to politician­s trying hard not to be clear.

SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

‚‚ ROVER 75 Tourer

My little-used Rover 75 Tourer is overdue an MOT so I’ve prepped it and taken it over to my local classicfri­endly tester. Fingers crossed.

‚œ ROVER 75
