Like the Escort, the Avenger has racing history too and was extremely competitive! Parts are still available and while it's a little more difficult to get things than it is for an Escort, it's ALWAYS much cheaper. You'll find parts for Avengers pop up in places like France, Latvia, Malta and Cyprus ...

With all this talk of using steering wheels as restraining devices I rather suspect the steering box on this topic is knackered as we appear to have veered of course and are heading straight for the nearest ditch. Slightly related, a house near to us has a massive pampas grass on their meticulous st...

Renault were late to the party. In the mid 1940s the Nash Ambassador could be got with a full sized bed that turned into seats.

Yay, the hydragas fluid arrived today! That means when I've got my voice back properly I can call the contact I was given who can hopefully come out and pump the suspension up. Some jewellery arrived too in the form of some super shiny wheel trims. Car was blocked in and I'm still not 100% so that's...

I was more answering the title and the discussion I'd dipped into so I guess I must have missed a resolution in here with the Chrysler. My bad. Still, it is interesting reading some views on this topic and how people approach classic car ownership. I know my approach is not the most conventional sin...

.. In a decade, 90's cars will be climbing..... I get the notion of people buying their dream classic under the circumstances that Al suggests, but what about the very many of us for whom "classicness" and so desirability involves the feeling of driving something from a bygone age rather than simpl...

Well, I have the flu, which is great. But Mike was kind enough to check the indicators on the Princess since I couldn't get out of bed and it looks like Gasman's (over on leylandprincess.co.uk ) theory that it was the loose speedo cable making a circuit it shouldn't was a good one. Indicators now wo...

Cor, Maestros and Allegros, the stuff of dreams right there. Says me, the Princess owner. They're terrible and that's what makes them brilliant.
