Bought this early on due to a need for a cheap auto thanks to a leg injury, picked it up on eBay iirc from a guy who is a fellow Retro-rider which i didnt realize at the time, cheers Justanotherhigh  Gave it a good clean up, hot air gunned the plastics back to black and drove it around till said leg was better. As bought, no later pics but easy to imagine it a bit shinier with black bumpers  So now i had a working clutch foot i was after a nice Cortina Mk4,5 or Hc Viva, Mk1 Cavalier, whilst not paying attention properly on eBay i bought this, Granada 2.8i Ghia x estate auto   Ive had loads of Granada's but the only unreliable one i owned was a 2.8i ghia x estate, yep deja-vu it promptly broke down on the way home and spent the next fortnight in situations like this saving fuel being towed about.......  A new fuel pump and filter sorted it out so i added some essential spotlights,  upgraded the useless dashboard lights, Before..........  After.........  And since then ive been using it daily trying to make up my mind what to do with it, either sell it or keep it although i am tempted by a recent photoshop i did   |

This '76 Dolomite 1850HL, which I promptly crashed and then made the mistake of trusting the local garage to repair. Result being I'm £500 down and the thing is still completely undrivable...  Bah humbug! |

Started off with this:  Which was tidied/welded/tarted up and sold. Also bought this:  Which I got running and moved on rather swiftly. Also bought this:  Which is stashed away for the winter. If it hasn't dissolved by next year it will be receiving a V8. Also acquired this:  Which, unless someone gives me £3000 for it will become a future restoration project. Like I haven't already got enough on! |

Bought this earlier in the year. Not had a chance to work on it the last few months.. and it looks like it will be late Feb before it is on the road again.  Only really plan to fit full m535i bodywork & take it to Retro Rides Gathering next year |

I bought this in April   ......and I bought this at the beginning of this month.   I couldnt say that the Lotus is "Retro" but for the fact that it cost £28/£29,000 way back in 1991 and still ran carbs and a manual choke Id say that was pretty old fashioned, right? |

I bought myself a Citroen BX 1.9D in June, fixed lots of niggly things and made it shiny and it's been my daily since August. (excuse the blurry photo...)  Then earlier this month I bought a cheap project for next summer (not planning to do much to it until the summer holidays).  |

At the start of the year I was driving around in a skoda pickup  and had a mini in the garage waiting for me to finish bolting it together  Then I bought another mx5 after missing my old one and the pickup was sold.  Sadly it didn't gel with me this time, and when my old Audi 80 avant came back up for sale, a swap was done  I thought this would be me done for the year, but then Brian's w124 E200 came up for sale at a price I couldn't refuse so the Audi was sold on and I now waft about in the merc  And the mini, still in the garage waiting to be finished (although it is a little closer ) |
