I'm sure Dave could be persuaded to sell it. The history file he has with it fills a weekend bag.
The mog normally lives inside his workshop but is out at the moment as he is so busy he needs the indoor space for customers cars. The stag has lived inside until the last week or so too.
He also has some P38s which need work but if anyone is interested I can get pics and details. His prices are always reasonable and he is very approacable.
What classic vehicles have you seen?

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
I was assuming that Terry meant some of this:
I saw a weird car that I've not seen before on the way to work, can anyone tell me what it may have been please? OK, so it's a big ask but it was heading south on the A697 at around 6:30 just south of Wooler by the Chatton Moor road ends, it was about the size of an Austin Maxi but wasn't one of them, it was a five door hatch-looking thing, it was dark red, carried a 1979/80 V plate with a single number (B** *V) and starting with a B, it was very shiny and the driver was listening to Bowie's "Young Americans" on the wireless as he cruised along with an elbow out of the window. I guess that what I'm needing is for the owner/driver to be reading this so that he can tell us what breed of car this was.
Things it wasn't:
Renault 16
Chrysler/Talbot Alpine
FSO Polonez
Citroen GS
Volvo 340/360
Lada Samara
Reliant FW11
Opel Kadett/early Vauxhall Astra
Lancia Beta

I'm guessing P38 refers to Ranger Rovers.

Yep, so in a sense, we're both right!UKJeeper wrote:I'm guessing P38 refers to Ranger Rovers.
Terry, I'm not even implying a tiny bit that your RRC is made up of anything other than solid metallic substances.

No filler, plenty of oxidised metal though :S

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
John did it look similar to this? As you don't even have a snap of even part of it, it will be a bugger to find out what it could be as badgets get added or damaged over the life of a vehicle!
I'm Diabetic,& disabled BUT!! NOT DEAD YET!!
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
No, Aron, not a Passat. Fewer sharp edges, more rounded looking. Maybe slightly similar in shape to an AlfaSud but not as small and with a proportionately longer bonnet. I've spent around an hour and a half searching the web for something that looks like the thing I saw. No joy as yet.

If you know the reg number, go on Europarts and type it in - it fills the rest in for you.
P45.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
That's good thinking but sadly that, and other sites that could otherwise put up vehicle details from a registration, only work for English and Welsh issued plates because of the different way in which the Data Protection Act works west/north of the border. It was a Rodger Fish (a long-established dealership based in Kelso) car according to its window sticker but their last franchise before they closed down in the '90s was a Peugeot/Talbot one and I don't know what came between that and the earlier franchise that they held; which supplied LKS630, our MK1 A40 Farina, when that was new in 1959.
I asked someone who ought to have remembered and they thought that Rodger Fish did either Honda or Opel in between times but I didn't find anything similar under either name.
I'm going to have to drive back along the same road at the same time of day and park up in a gateway in the hope that the thing is regularly used on the same route so I can catch it coming by.
