THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…

- DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR JAMES SADLIER MIKE LE CAPLAIN CHARLIE CALDERWOOD CHRIS HOPE RICHARD GUNN KEITH ADAMS NICK LARKIN

1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster Revived after several weeks’ inactivity for a trouble-free trip to Bicester Heritage’s Scramble meet. It needs a damned good clean now, though…

MANAGING EDITOR

1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 The Pug was very iced up upon its owner’s return, but is now back up and running a treat. Looking forward to getting it out to more events.

PRODUCTION EDITOR

1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport Nearside rear tyre soft, 12v socket still dead (so can’t use compressor), haven’t owned a manual foot pump for years. Ergo: ‘Dear Amazon…’

STAFF WRITER

2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Swapped out my headlight bulbs for some Osram Nightbreak­ers – slight improvemen­t in light throw but the whiter colour is surprising­ly helpful.

FEATURES EDITOR

1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Waiting for the salt to wash away before I get the ‘7 out for any further jaunts. Hearing it crackle under the tyes of my daily made me cringe…

SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

1996 SAAB 900 S Convertibl­e Hairline crack in sump should be solved by the end of January with a new sump being fitted. Then I can start cleaning up the pools of oil.

SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

WATCH THIS SPACE...

Laid up with Covid-19, but that didn’t stop me from buying a new car from self-isolation. Keep an eye out in CCW for when I reveal my latest purchase in a future issue.
