The weather was with us and we headed off on the A71 through […]

More paper-bound time capsules!
We’ll round off this short series of articles with something slightly different – Collections.
A rather significant proportion of car fans also seem to be avid collectors of […]
Tony Penman wrote a new post, Yet more Old Cars in Old Magazines, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 3 months, 4 weeks ago
This month we find ourselves in 1977
The publication is ‘Thoroughbred & Classic Cars’ which you’ll recognise these days as ‘Classic Cars Magazine’ although it still bears its original name beyond these […]

Back to the 60’s with a bang this time (hopefully not a backfire!)
In these days of Engine Management Systems and Digital Displays giving you enough information to overload a pilot, you could be forgiven for […]
Tony Penman started the topic Mondeo – Modern Classic or not? in the forum General Discussion 6 months ago
I’ll put my hand up here – One of the best cars I’ve ever owned was a pearlescent black 1995 Ford Mondeo hatchback which came from factory with Cosworth Alloys and an ST24 bodykit. It was fully loaded with all the gadgets of the day (to which I added a Sony CD Multichanger and some Alpine 11×9’s in the parcel shelf – I know. Vandalism). A year…[Read more]

A slightly newer magazine in this post….
This time I was having a browse through a magazine from the very late 80’s that I picked up as I remembered reading it back in the day and seeing a car that made me say […]

Dad, What’s that you’re reading?
Oh, just some car magazines a friend lent me. “They look quite old” came the reply.
Yes, they’re from 1964 & 1965. “That’s older than you – Old magazines with old cars in th […]
Tony Penman commented on the post, Keith Hall – RIP, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 9 months, 1 week ago
This is awful news at any time of year, let alone Christmas.
I used to enjoy our chats at get togethers…
Gutted for Andrea, Ray & the family. Thoughts with all of you.
My FaceBook Messenger inbox will be a much quieter and less funny place without Keith around.
Rest in Peace my friendTony Penman wrote a new post, The MOT Test at 60 Years Old, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 1 year ago
The MOT Test had its 60th Birthday on the 12th of September 2020 and, like the rest of us, it has undergone some changes over the last 6 decades!
The Test was introduced on Monday 12th September 1960 – 60 […]
Tony Penman replied to the topic To MOT or not to MOT? in the forum General Discussion 1 year ago
Good stuff. Glad it’s sorted. On the MOT Test (Which coincidentally is 60 years old today!), the Lotus wouldn’t be subject to a modern test, rather it would be subjected to the standard test of the day, so no emissions other than ‘does it smoke badly’ and brake biases / headlight heights / condition. The Govt. position seemed to be that classic…[Read more]

Building Blocks
As mentioned in last times ‘The View From the Garage’, the engine block seemed in pretty good order and had never suffered from leaks or overheating (as much as any classic doesn’t suffer from […]

Hi Alan,
When the new rules came in, my 1966 MGB was automatically ‘rolled over’ to the new reality.
The V11z is the new version of the V11 for vehicles attracting a ‘zero’ rate of tax.
Not all ‘zero’ tax vehicles are historic. As far as I’m aware, electric vehicles will get a V11z too and if they are over 3 years of age, they need an MOT…[Read more]Tony Penman wrote a new post, July 'Virtual Club Meeting' – Tonight (9th of July @ 8:00pm), on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 1 year, 2 months ago

Thanks John – It might sound like we know what we’re doing but we’re very much flying by the seat of our pants and I’m desperately trying to remember words of wisdom from my childhood.
We’ve been trying to us my Dad’s old tools as much as possible but they definitely worked for their keep and the years haven’t been kind to many of them so modern…[Read more]

Hi folks – The ‘live’ event if you like is on the Facebook page which you can view either via the page above which should update live or via the FaceBook page itself.
