THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

1980 RANGE ROVER FLM P’CRAFT

Perhaps it should visit next year’s NEC show, given the market’s appetite for four-door Rangies. One’s just sold at the show’s auction for nearly £43k!

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

1994 FORD MONDEO 1.8 GLX

Emerged from the NEC to find a note attached to the Mondeo’s windscreen – an admirer wanted to buy it! Great to see it getting some love.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

2001 MGF 1.8I

Wife’s modern BMW has lunched two of its coil packs, so the ‘F’s back on frontline daily duty for the first time in two years.

MURRAY SCULLION NEWS EDITOR

1996 MAZDA MX-5

Mazda has sat longingly at work while I’ve been at the NEC. Alas, it couldn’t carry my kit and two other occupants to Birmingham.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

Still in the garage, still turning over and awaiting an opportunity for a weekend run. Thankfully, I’ve a Sunday to myself coming up.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER

1988 VW SCIROCCO SCALA

I’ve just got a timing gun to help me finally get the Scirocco tuned correctly – my only excuse now is that that the cold is quite off-putting!

NICK LARKIN EDITOR AT LARGE

1960 AUSTIN A55 Cambridge

Trying to ensure the car gets some exercise before the worst of the winter weather sets in and, in doing so, have visited some local landmarks.

RICHARD BARNETT MARKETS EDITOR

2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE

Another candidate for some imminent North Wales Jags treatment. Hopefully the catalyst problem will be cured!
