Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850

Or, I could just flog it and buy a manual Sprintomite, would save the reply "It's not a ****ing Sprint" all the time :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have you been eavesdropping in the works tearoom?? Chatting to one of the mechanics with a P5B, who happens to have a spare 3.9 and box sat there doing not a lot! :lol:

What I want to do to it, and what I actually can be bothered to do are 2 different things ;)

Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850

An quick update on the Tangomite. I've done sod all to it and it's been stuck in the garage since November. :lol: I still keep debating whether to swap the auto back to a manual how it should be, or do an MX5 swap to it. Also thinking about changing the interior to black along the way too, but, shoc...

Re: Roewe's latest offering

If they did build it, unlikely we'd see it here, the GT looks great, but it's not coming to the UK, for now, it's 3, 6 and soon to be GS SUV. http://mg.co.uk/m/a11340/800.jpg http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/MG-GS-18-01-2015.2.jpg I run a 6 everyday, and it's not a bad old ...

Re: '80 & '81 Austin Morris Princess and a '75 Renault 6TL

Correct, but outer units have dipped and main filaments, the projector lights just have dipped, so with no main filament, they go out when main beams switched on, so you loose most of the light directly in front, which is a bit of a mare. ;)

Re: DVLA checking up

I'm not concerned, I don't run a clearly post 91 Mini on pre 73 plates, or indeed a LR Defender on them either. For too long, newer cars with long production runs have been rung with earlier ID to become tax free, and I wonder how many stolen classics have been rung with tax free ID and sold on? Or ...

Re: '80 & '81 Austin Morris Princess and a '75 Renault 6TL

I can't remember if I mentioned this before? I know I commented to someone about them, E30 projectors, bloody brilliant, Dolomite has, IMO a better spread of light than my modern MG has at night. I just need to add another relay to the wiring, as currently, the dipped beams turn off on main, so I ju...
