Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

That reminds me. Back in the late 70s, I was visiting my parents in Kington, Herefordshire when my father asked me to help one of his neighbours, a Mr Kitchin, start his car. The car was a white D reg MGB GT, with a registration number very similar to yours, I can't remember it exactly though. I cleaned and gapped the points and gave it a jump start from the Princess 2200 HLS and Mr K went on his way rejoicing. I can't help wondering if it was the same car, after all it was quite close to your neck of the woods and I'm sure the number started off JKF...
This talk of accents reminds me of a Stanley Baxter sketch, where they did regional news. I can't remember which regions they did but none of them could be understood, whether they were Welsh, North East, Scottish or whatever. The punch line was when they went back to the studio in London and the very posh announcer was also unintelligible.
Rules exist for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
MG Midget 1500, MGB GT V8, Morris Minor Traveller 1275, MG Midget 1275 & too many bicycles.
What happened to this show ? I can't find any official reference to it, nothing on Nat Geo, but I did find a post on a Triumph forum that talks about a car that was supposed to be part of the show, but it was returned to the owner without being restored (or possibly mid-restoration) due to the program being axed, and it was finished by a volunteer team at a classic car show.
but what about Car SOS (National Geographic) ? it was filming last year, the production company & presenters posted on various car forums, it was mentioned in some publications, to be aired early 2013, but has since gone very quiet !
