They're brand new, have spinning collars and for alloy wheels iirc. I promised to post them to someone on here but forgot all about it. I've just found them in the back of a drawer. not @Six-cylinder was it? I know he has an MG Metro on pepper pot alloys and i recall a discussion about the wheel nuts at some point in regards to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't for the life of me get any sort of quote returned when I tried to insure the Bluebird on a classic policy. Turns out that if you value it at £1,501, they suddenly drop all objections! Now, I wonder if there's any way of getting a 20-year old Mondeo on a classic policy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 As long as the chain is quiet you're into a winner. A noisy chain indicates lack of servicing and therefore the overall standard of care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I have Mrs Ruff permission to buy another proper classic but only if it is usable immediately, I have a certain something in mind but haven't found one at the right price yet.

I have two cars insured with FJ but the daily main car is with aviva. You DO need a daily car insured with someone though it doesn’t have to be a modern car. Witness my “daily” being 26 years old.

Good luck, I think I’m giving up my Citroen 11BN search as it’s not a sensible time to be spending £10k on something I have no space for and no time to drive.

jonathan_dyane Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 For many years my GS has lain forlorn and forgotten at my parents but I retrieved it today and shoehorned it into my garage which was my lockdown plan coming to fruition (building new workshop/motorcycle storage shed in the garden freeing up the garage). Remarkably structurally the GS hasn’t deteriorated much further in the 16 year hibernation and getting it solid shouldn’t be too taxing but the doors and bonnet are going to challenge me! wuvvum, somewhatfoolish, LightBulbFun and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogchod Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The C6 has been collected. Many tales of woe may appear on these pages.

jonathan_dyane Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Lovely C6, you’re braver than me! The GS started life C-matic but has gained a clutch pedal and manual box at some point which as far as I’m concerned is no bad thing!
