Lancia Stratos for fun, for a posh night out a Buick Riveria 1963............

Hi,

I am in the market again for a classic and need something that will comfortably seat at least 6 people.

I have been down the Land Rover route in the past, so looking for something more car like.

The only cars I can think of are a Citreon Famile or possibly a Mercedes 123 estate. I did once ...

Is it any good for cleaning brake dust off alloy wheels? Or will the acid damage the alloy?

I am sure they are nice cars, the one in this months Practical Classics looked like a good one.

Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. I like the Dolly Sprint, but they are well out of my price range.

The Rover 75 cost me £461.01 on a well know auction site. Giving it a service tomorrow. Filters, and ...

I've always liked the shape of the 75, but never considered buying one.

They are
1998 models, which I assume is K series?

What year was the Honda engine fitted and to what models?

Thanks for the link, good site.

Hi

I am going to look at a couple of Rover Coupes this week. One is a 216 the other a 218 VVC.

Which is the better engine (reliability wise), as searching the internet has only managed to confuse me?

They look like very good value for money.
