    Tyre Replacement - How old are yours?

    I have driven the car now. It is transformed. Amazing what you can tolerate as normal when you are accustomed to it. It feels like it has power steering, everything is quieter at speed and all vibration gone. I think the Vredesteins look pretty good too. They have a slightly built out...

    Tyre Replacement - How old are yours?

    Having read a cautionary tale of a motorway blowout on another post it stuck in my mind that the tyres on my S1 P6, although legal, were getting very long in the tooth. Three years ago, they were already over ten years old, as the tyre place pointed out from the date stamp when I took them for...

    London to Brighton Classic Car Run

    Cheers. Never done anything like that before but I am firmly in the using your classic camp and still basking in the afterglow of a great day. Thankfully my son shot plenty of footage both in and out of the car.

    BRG looks great on these cars. That S2 looks very well sorted. We have missed too many of these friendly meets and hope to return soon. We had a good excuse last month as we ran in the London to Brighton and lived to tell the tale. I'll save the big story for when I actually get there again...

    London to Brighton Classic Car Run

    Well we made it there and back. Bumped into Danny Hopkins, editor Practical Classics and his P6 S1. Attached is the photo of the matching pair. Danny, is the one who is actually looking at the camera. Professional media type. :wink:

    Anyone else entered? I have entered with my son as navigator. It is actually Brooklands to Brighton racecourse via a scenic 100 mile route. Not quite the Peking to Paris but it's a start... :wink:

    Wheeler Dealers Escort Mark 1

    I finally got to watch it last night and the Range Rover one. I was surpised even after reading this forum. If it had been an original escort I could understand the price but this one had been messed about with. Still each to his own. I don't remember so much about the Range Rover because by...

    Headlight alignment and screenwashers. I count myself lucky, albeit having had some fairly major (inboard discs :evil: ) work between this one and the last. Haven't heard from him no...

    Wheeler Dealers Escort Mark 1

    Haven't seen it yet. I too had a MK1 which was stolen at a time when the aftermarket wheels were worth more than the car :lol: Still got the V5 if it ever turns up. Reckon it was broken for parts. We can console ourselves that our hugely undervalued P6s make them accessible and relatively...
