My pm’s for some reason were knocked off (by me) but I’ve put ‘em on again now.

Not for eBay. I’ve carted that thing round the U.K. with insufficient skill to get it properly sorted. I’ve paid thousands to have a new motor put in it as the 33 motor it has when I got it was wrecked and had the gearbox rebuilt. It doesn’t work yet but frankly I’ll be damned if it’s going to some ...

Here are photos of it. When I say dismantled it’s all there, I just think it will all need to come apart. I dropped the engine to rescue the bulkhead which is now sound and the engine is back in and I’m reattaching the plumbing. I just think it will need a rebuild. For the avoidance of doubt it’s fr...

After having a brush with the C word, which was hopefully caught early I’ve changed course a bit so if it happens again I don’t saddle my loved ones with stuff and I’m spending more time with the kids. To this end the old Alfasud sprint hill climber which was half disassembled (badly) by me needs to...

I’ve just looked. They’ve got loads of good things. I’ve never owned one (except a Caterham which is mostly Ali) but I’m a big fan of small glass coupes.

A former colleague collects Clans for classic rallying but I get the impression from him they are harder to maintain than I dream of.

TI’s and the “top dog” models of all 70s classics have sky rocketed. I think vendors of plainer cars hope the values of their cars, particularly in stronger colours like this are pulled up with them. Do you have a Rochdale Olympic? I’ve never seen one in real life. I used to love reading Malcolm Mac...

Not sure the picture of the telephone or the car under a rescue blanket add anything to the advert.

Yep there is not a lot of room to work with to see what’s going on. If I recall correctly the coil is with the engine and not up front. I was never wholly convinced a fuel tank in the engine bay was a great idea. If I get one again I’m having both a plumbed in extinguisher and a camera mounted in th...

It was more like why have the police called round asking about a silver sports car registered in my name moving between Public car parks and streets, being parked for days and then being moved in the middle of the night. Matra Murena 2.2 full history - only lhd and the engine isn’t the best but the ...

You weren’t around for the Matra incident. I’ve never let Mrs F forget how much I liked that car. Mrs F has never let me forget the police came round. 15 years ago. I do like a Matra.

Fixed price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfa-Romeo-33-Ti-Veloce/333616376776 I don’t know if Stilauto alloys are a “thing” or not but in the picture they look like revs I’ve tried to make at home. Having said that I want it but then I want all red 33s - I don’t have time to drive to slough to see an...

I’ve only been in this forum a couple of months and I’ve never met most of you and those who I have - it was years ago when I had the 75 - you won’t remember. However I saw this posted somewhere else and it just reminded me of a number of contributors on this site - please take it as the compliment ...
