Good luck with the purchase Nick ! If you're after a kind of truly authentic look, The Mk2 was never a road car in period, race only. Mk2 also has higher fenders above the front wheels in addition to the differing rear end. 1966 Mk2(a) has twin periscope scoops & a box air intake on the rear...

Thanks James. It's not well publicised but there is a UK 'side effect monitoring system' The Yellow Card. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting Regards Steve

Yes I saw it too. (eBay but the same dealer/seller as post #1) Steve

Hi James, Sorry to hear of your issues with the second jab, I don't know if you sought advice at the time, I think I would have done. The main thing is you soon got over it, although the problems you had did sound a bit worrying. I think three jabs of the same vaccine is relatively common, my...

You have to love 'dealer' adverts. Gulfstream Livery !

Best wishes for Christmas & the new year everybody. Steve From a dark, damp south Essex

Yes, fog lights don't usually work on any vehicle unless the vehicle lights are on first. Not strictly the 'same circuit' or they would be on all the time that the vehicle lights are on. A 'connected or related circuit' is perhaps a better description. They will be (should of been) wired in...

Exoto do jack up the price when stocks are getting lower. They're usually fairly sensible prices when they are first available. The 1966 set above for instance cost me about £350 not long after introduction. All of my Exoto's have been purchased direct from them or their official e-bay outlet...

Agree with Ian, looks like a Dax. (Height from the bottom of the door up to the air intake looks much larger than stock.)

Time for an update. I had the flu jab back in September. Received my booster (3rd) jab three days ago. In my case that makes two AstraZeneca shots & now a Moderna, all with the normal, for the UK, 6 month interval between them. No side effects except my arm felt like it was bruised the next...

Thanks, I appreciate your good humour ! Having had pneumonia & pleurisy myself and a father who has the damage caused by 'farmers lung' (farm dust etc) I realise that lungs are potentially vulnerable things. I also remember the massive step change in procedures (air fed masks etc) that was...

Andrew will be thinking of this, & I agree with him. https://www.hse.gov.uk/mvr/bodyshop/isocyanates.htm. and https://www.hse.gov.uk/mvr/bodyshop/myths/index.htm Regards Steve

Car park is ticketed too. I guess you will be parking at your Flexotel though.

Somewhere I saw some ancient colour film of the front end being sprayed matt blue, which looks like matt black on b&w photographs. Will post a link if I can find it. Bit of an old thread this !

Nice early Christmas present !

I understand the distinction, but will the UK I.V.A system, post 2030, allow a new internal combustion powered car to be passed & registered ? Sadly I doubt it. Maybe putting a barn find with a cancelled V5 registration back on to the road will become impossible, or even importing a used ICE...

+1 for an electric 1/2'' belt sander. I've had Clarke & B&D ones, I think Makita do one too. I like the variable speed feature, I find these a lot more controllable than air ones. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-cpf13-electric-power-file/

Sorry Jasper, I didn't read your post correctly, my fault. Sounds like Ford 6103650. https://www.burtonpower.com/steering-rack-bush-ford-escort-mk1-mk2-capri-cortina-6103950.html Steve

Sad news. I had the chance to speak with him briefly at Goodwood a few years ago, a great driver & a really nice guy too.
