Re: Stainless Steel or Aluminium fuel tanks

I personally wouldn't be, even though I'm a bit of a tart- with the care and attention most cars get these days a mild steel tank suitably painted should last a long time- most people are only having to replace original steel tanks after 40+ years.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

I need some of those wheels in my life.

No, I'm not buying a rusty Mk3 from NZ for them!

That took awhile......... [emoji849] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It should come with a warning at the start- "Length of time to complete may exceed estimate if you have to use your toes as well as your fingers to count how many vehicles you own"... :mr green: Only(!) 4 eligible ones ...

FBHVC Enthusiast Survey 2020- have your voice heard

I've been rather lax in pushing this, but the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs' Enthusiasts Survey is now (and has been for some time) available HERE . Presumably as a member of this forum you are either an owner of or have a strong interest in "historic vehicles", so please do...

Re: My 1978 1.8 GT.....

Welcome along. Nice car, especially with it being a GT. Good seats are a rare thing for any model it seems, I suspect you might end up having to look at getting them retrimmed. I know Gary (minispeedstar on here) had NOS Mk1 underiders, I don't know if he had Mk2 ones as well but they do come up fro...

Re: BL show 6th September

I've just phoned the organisers and you can turn up on the day with an eligibe car, arrive between 7.30 and 9.30 though please. You may well have to pay though (but it'll be cheaper to pay to enter an eligible classic than it will to come in a modern!). Please don't worry about the condition of the ...

Great looking car that one Barry. I'm not normally a fan of the TR7 alloys but they really suit the black car.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Yes, sorry, I read your comment "so in my mind this means that road tax should not have been required after the end of October 2019" and thought you were expecting a refund back until then which is most definitely not the case. If I've read this correctly the car has been taxed since Apri...

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?

Tax exemption is from April 1st the year after the vehicle turns 40. Has been the case since the moving exemption was reintroduced in the 2014 budget- the youngest a car can be and still be exempt is 40 years and 3 months. In other words if your tax refund was backdated to April this year that will ...

Re: Marina's TC

Whatever they are they're horrible!

I've a feeling I may have a spare airbox assembly Renzo but it will be some time before I can check I'm afraid. I definitely have one (which I want) but I think my carbs came with one too.

Re: Marina's TC

Have you not sorted that yet? It’s in the hands of Phil [emoji106] So no then :lol: Your one is looking much better than the last time I saw it Renzo, glad it's found a good home at last. Mine's cheating rather of course. https://live.staticflickr.com/1832/42438221680_e9f5087655_b.jpg outside3 by b...
