2007 Suzuki Kingquad Mud-plugging beast of burden – I love it. High-mileage but well cared for by previous owners. Cracked section of frame needs replacing but it’s not critical.

1998 Volkswagen T4 campervan 2.5 TDI A thankfully solid bus with 227k on the clock and going strong. I’ve just renewed the suspension with OEM springs and Gaz dampers all-round, and am now gradually Polybushin­g the whole thing.

1992 Fiat Panda Sky My first car, about 11 years ago. Recently recommissi­oned and driven from Norfolk to the Outer Hebrides by a mate on Practical Classics mag – but newly noisy gearbox now needs attention.

1968 Land Rover Series IIA 2.25 petrol Mechanical­ly original spec, although it’s all come from different Land Rovers over the years. Steering relay needs replacing, but it’s always ready for action and often saves the day.
