THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…

EDITOR

1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster With the bodywork cleaned up, work at the moment is focusing on the roof and interior, as the former’s let water creep into the latter.

MANAGING EDITOR

1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Managing to get 600 miles from a full tank over long distances. I barely get 400 from daily use, really highlighting where the Pug’s strengths lie.

PRODUCTION EDITOR

1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport

Ever wondered how hard it is to inflate a Jaguar’s tyre from near-flat using a manual foot pump? Very, very hard is the answer.

STAFF WRITER

2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Peugeot replaced the intermittent wiper function on the 306 with auto wipers on high-spec cars. Like all auto wiper systems, it doesn’t work…

FEATURES EDITOR

1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Weather seems to be improving so plan is to extract it from the garage and get the tyres rolling at the very least – not that I’m worried about it not starting or anything…

SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR

1993 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta Constant commuter use for the reliable and economical Panda has left it filthy. Still, I’m sure old Fiats and winter road salt mix well together.

SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR

1971 AUSTIN 1300 Deluxe

A sudden loss of storage has left me scrambling for somewhere under cover to put my beloved Austin. Any suggestions gratefully received…

EDITOR-AT-LARGE
