Christmas ends at Turner Towers when the fridge returns to normal stock levels

Great picture. It’s starting to feel like Christmas all over again (albeit not good news for my waist line)

Shut up you lot and just enjoy the picture

PMd you.

You seem very keen on that particular car Simon. Tread carefully. That tailgate fit is horrendous, as is the passenger door…and I’m only looking at the opening picture. Perhaps it’s not representative of the rest of the car….but given the current state of the classic car market and time of year, the...

Maybe we should set up a separate thread for contributors to post a picture of each swatch year. I can only offer a mid to late ‘60s one.

I think anyone new to the world of buying int...

OK thanks Karan (my Q was driven my putting something together with Tim Clark re: Colin Holley obituary).
