    GeorgeB reacted to chadders in LightBulbFun's Invacar & general ramble thread, index on page 1, survivors lists on Pages 24/134 & AdgeCutler's Invacar Mk12 Restoration from Page 186 onwards, still harping on...   
    Will do.
    Convertibles are probably more useful as there's no height restriction if you want to fit a 50" telly in it and are far more stable than a 3 wheeler. That might be why Tony Pond rallied one rather than an invacare, although it was a TR7V8 at first.
    I wonder how that was recorded by the DVLA? LOL

    If we're doing the broad strokes approach to countries, then the only thing your average Brit is good at making these days is complaints.
    That comment and variations on it about how it's China's fault Britain can't make good stuff any more is utter nonsense.  Britain is no longer a manufacturing power house, hasn't been for decades, while China has been investing heavily in becoming the country that makes everything for everyone.  Stuff made in China runs the whole range from hopeless eBay tat all the way through to high end tech and lots of other stuff besides.
    Also Brits are fucking tight and/or skint all the time anyway.  You're not going to pay a premium for a British made thing, you're just going to moan about how expensive it is and then go and buy the Chinese thing you said you didn't want to buy because it's that much cheaper and several levels of quality lower.  Brits are world class hypocrites that way.

    Thought I'd start a thread for my fleet, I'll introduce them in the order I got them.
    The first one us the TR7V8.

    this was bought in 1993 as a restoration project, It had been ziebarted from new but still needed 3 wheelarches, door bottoms and a number of smaller repairs, plus a recon engine.  my wife ran it for 5 years as her everyday car  until our daughter came along.  I then used it for another 8 or 9 years until the recon engine blew a head gasket, I couldn't get ghe head off so fitted a £100 secondhand engine and started hunting for RV8 bits.  The engine I bought was stripped and looked/measured  fine,  I made the engine mountings, cooling sytem and twin exhaust and fitted it,  what a tranaformation!  only problem was when it got hot it had a knock, after 3 strip downs I concluded it must be something like a liner moving and fitted another short engine which has been fine ever since, it's also lowered, has improved brakes and 15" mg maestro wheels.  Future plans are to  sell It!  I have run out of space and there is a limit to how many open 2 seat cars one can drive.  Before that it needs some new tyres and a few other odds and ends tidying up.
