Re: What was your first car?

It sure has, if you squint after a good few beers it sort of looks a bit Rolls Royce ish, it also had the leather seats out of the Hornet as well. I also reversed the air vent on the roof, I think I was kidding myself that acted like an air brake which was an advantage as the drum brakes were not up...

Re: What was your first car?

My first car was an ex MOD Mini Van, that was when i was a student back in the early seventies. I paid £130 for it at the time and sold it after about five years for the same money to buy a mk1 Ford Escort. I regretted buying the Escort and after a couple of years sold it and bought a Rover 3500S, I...

Advice sought on buying a Traveller

Hello all I don't own a Traveller yet, but have seriously considering buying one to run as my everyday and only transport when (or just before) I retire in about four years time.
