THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ❚ 1972 MGB GT Currently in the garage with its rear end stripped of lights and bumpers, awaiting some remedial work.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ❚ 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé Being given a bit of a winter clean-up ahead of a photoshoot. Keep an eye out for it in CCW…

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ❚ 1977 MG Midget 1500 Suspect that it won’t be an ideal companion on the dark, wet commute I’ll be doing in it this week…

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ❚ 1994 SUBARU SVX Returning better mpg than Subaru quoted in period, despite the ruined exhaust and dragging brakes.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Now booked back in with Robsport – this time to have reconditioned carburettors fitted.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ❚ 1990 PEUGEOT 205 GT Found a small leak on the rocker cover gasket – better replace that before someone comes to view the car.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ❚ 2003 MG ZR New power steering pump needed – currently like driving a Scammell lorry, except a bit warmer inside.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ❚ 1993 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta Reluctant to start on cold, wet mornings, but works if left to recover for a few minutes. Much like its owner.
