Re: What is your dream classic?

I would keep the Herald Coupe but add a early 948 Herald Coupe with twin carbs and the smooth instead of ribbed roof.

Early E Type coupe.
Ferrari 246 Dino
Mini Cooper S
Early Series 1 Land Rover

Think that would be sufficient.

Well done with a fab car but why did you ruin it with the rubbish modern plates? I think that really spoils the finished article and that comes from someone who has an online modern numberplate business!

Re: december issue

Seems odd to rebuild all those cars over the winter for the condition 1 values to be the same as condition 3!

I have just got myself one to run around in while my coupe is getting restored and its a 1966 1200 saloon, cost £6...
