When it was current I remember, and used to lust after, the ‘S’ version of the Triumph Herald. The joke at the time was that it was slower than the standard Herald because of the weight penalty of the extra carb! The 2 Litre Vitesse was however a flyer with contemporary adverts boasting 12.5 secs to...

I thought it was just me.

Latest: The battery is only holding 55% of its capacity The alternator is older than I thought and despite being 90amp does not supply enough to charge headlamps, fans, heater etc at tick-over which surprised me. First step is a new battery and the retest the alternator as the weak battery may be ef...

My first trip to Cornwall was in the back of a similar Zephyr. It was 1968 before the road improvements and despite leaving at midnight it took 11 hours in the middle of the holiday season! Luckily there was enough room to stretch out in the back. I saw this today............ FFEC42C4-E4F5-4545-811B...

Steady on James, that’s someone’s baby! It’s a tale of marque identity syndrome. At the time Daimler and Lanchester were essentially the same company. The chap driving it was a Lanchester man who wanted a Lanchester version of the Daimler Conquest Century New Drophead Coupe. (What a moniker!) 308FB4...

Hi Stephen. It's on Rostyles as recommended by Andrew Cassar. I asked him to sell the CV8 and he suggested it would be more '1960s' with a wheel change. Unfortunately poor Andrew died just before Christmas and then afterwards there was Covid which put the market on hold. But on the other hand a pal ...
