Watching with interest as I do like a French estate and will need to consider a replacement for my old Fiat sooner or later. What's it like size wise with the back seats folded down, as being a drummer it's the first question in car buying for me!

Back in 1994 I ran a lowered Dolomite 1500 whilst cobbling together a ratty Spitfire. Mods, apart from the lowering consisted of a de-chrome,Sprint alloys and Chevette rear lights.

Think I know this one is it to do with a Mr R. B. Spot on!

The show wasn't my thing, too many old boys showing off their Austins.
My wife was there with her 63' Vespa and said the same, but did see a rather nice Saab 96 and a 2cv van that she loved.

I'm too scared to start a resto on mine - there's far too many rusty bits. I just want it mechanically sound for now! I know the feeling. Our one went from a quick spruce up to an almost nut and bolt resto pretty quickly! All done now thankfully and on the road.

My wife's Vespa started off with " just a little rust bubble" !!

Apparently some Asian fella owns it, as well as 1A and both are on his Bentleys 🤔🤔🤔 Not what the DVLA database says. They were owned by a famous Sheikh's brother,and were indeed on his London based Bentleys, before he fell out of favour and was financially restricted.

Unrelated to my Cooper, this story was going round the R53 Facebook page earlier this week. The registration number A1 is currently fitted to a Cooper S (R56). £3k car with a £500k number plate! There's an interesting story behind that plate and it's current owner.Worth a Google.

After a little road trip down to West Sussex this morning, we now have a (hopefully) good engine. Just got to fit the thing now!

I'm not a regular poster, and have been a lurker for a number of years. This is one thread I keep coming back to for a catch up every week. Impressive work by all involved and can't wait to see it on the road! I'm exactly the same. Nothing constructive to offer sadly but really enjoying the read and ride.

Looking for a running 602 2cv engine to replace the broken one in my wifes 1988 2cv Special. We're near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Thanks.
