If you like British thoroughbred sports cars of the era it is a 'real peach' to coin a phrase!

As wintertime came back a bit during the Easter days, I went through my 2009 photos to get some motivation in anticipation of the upcoming classic car season.

Riley RMA 1 1/2 litre from 1947, parked in the Rhine valley with the paddle motor ship (steamer until 2008) "Goethe" in the background.

This year we will take the old lady (the Riley, not the ex-steamer) to her original home in Salcombe/Devon, before attending the Goodwood Revival in September.

Cheers,
Tom

Split windscreen motoring - does it get any better?

Split screen motoring AND a cup of tea, now you're talking

My co-pilot Tim at the wheel on a recent 'Winter Trail'. Curious? Check out the rest of the photos -

Sapphire - Salcombe is a lovely part of the country, spent many childhood holidays there, you'll love it!

Yeah, it can't get better than this. Especially with a cuppa tea.

My co-pilot was at the wheel due to me having a hangover from hell from the night before

Bad Jupiler

Sorry, all I see is the dreaded red x

My 'new' 1936 Austin Seven Opal. It's a two seater open top model in original colouring of blue body with black wings. Original number plate.
Driving it here at a Battle of Britain Veteran's Parade in Bromley.

A surprise present from my lovely BenStephens.

Better view of the colours.

Vintage Lover, I am envious of your Caddy!!!

 

[Vintage lover]

Thanks, I try my best to keep her in good shape. Those pics were taken shortly after I got her. If you want I could take some pics of the original plaid interior.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'd love to see it. I've got a 79 Buick Electra, Avocado green, white vinyl top, and avocado green interior. Gotta love the 70's. The car matches all my kitchen appliances!

 

[Vintage lover]

Just took these today. Few cars have green interiors these days. Even fewer have green plaid lol. Do you ever have problems with the emissions systems giving you a rough idle on your Buick?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I've been thinking about just desmogging the old gal, but right now I'm seeing if I can sell her off.

If you don't need the money, and you have the room, you will regret selling it.

Ask me how I know....

The problem is that 70's emissions systems were really obtuse. I am considering going through the who thing and updating a few things

 

[Talbot]

There is/was a fair sized market here for converting cars over to natural gas. The government was offering a rebate of up to $2,000 per vehicle converted.

The gov't (bless em') is now talking about a cash for clunkers scheme, so I expect the rebates to be withdrawn if they haven't been already.

Folks claim that the LPG burns cleaner with lower fuel consumption. I'm a bit leerry of having a compressed gas tank in my car, but a while back Ford Australia was offering dual fuel cars from the factory floor. All taxi's here run either LPG or gasoline.

My neighbours F250 is converted and he claims to be getting around 35mpg around town.

Oh man, that plaid is something! A neighbor's grandmother had a 77 or 78 Coupe DeVille, yellow with a white top and the yellow version of that plaid interior. I seem to recall that her carpets were black though, but I'm not sure...this would have been 1982 or so, so it's getting foggy.

We don't have emissions testing on anything older than 1996 in Missouri, just a cursory safety inspection, thank heaven.
