The biggest pain was fitting the new dot alloy plates to the sills, 'B' posts and the end of the doors. Apart from that the re-fit did not go too bad. Quite pleased with the results of the re-spray, th...

After chatting with a current tester a couple of weeks ago he has clarified a few points (bearing in mind it is his interpretation of the rules, however he is very strict a...

Re: Rolling MOT Exemption

Technically in June you could find some old car that has been sat in a field for many years, pump the tyres up, insure it and then once you have done the bit on the Government website you are off. I used to drive past this car for almost 20yrs in Walcote, Leicestershire. At first it was not too bad...

Re: My first Jensen, hopefully many miles ahead of me

Jensen has now had its re-spray and I've almost finished putting her back together.

Just in time for the first anniversary of my ownership. :D

Hope members will approve of the colour change.

Insurance Companies

Hi I have just had my annual renewal come through for my cars and this years premium is 1160 (pounds). I've had a few more quotes , one of whom was from Peter S. Taylor .
