Re: 60s-80s cars for a film.

Re: What Car did you Pass up and Always Regret

Two stick in my mind, predictably both Mantas. I'd always promised myself a Manta A, and finally bought one 11 years ago. Just after I bought it I got my first club mag, and for sale in that was a Broadspeed Turbo. I was seriously tempted but had just bought mine. If memory serves the guy struggled ...

Re: Car SOS - New Series!!!

Re: Car SOS - New Series!!!

I think Tim let's the show down, I don't like his on-screen persona at all. I suppose it's like all the people who are annoyed by Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers.

Re: 'Modern Classic' Insurance
