Countryside Classic Cars

Our Renault 5 GT Turbo which hasn't seen the road since 2014 came out today, quick wash off even though dry stored. Was on the button as expected, it's been regularly run, started, run up and given a quick scoot down our private road. Not sure what to do with it as its such a great base for a resto. Full service history file, unmolested and solid both chassis and mechanically. These cars have seen a rapid rise through nostalgia of late. Its still retains its original Renault smell, has all the original pipework and is probably the only 5 turbo out there with an working original anti perc fan. 80's 90's pocket rocket - what do you think?

It's been a busy month with our A35 pickup going to a new home, 4 or 5 of our old school scooter and motorbikes leaving. Our Volvo P1800s is nearly there, after a full body respray it's looking like a nice example again. Clutch master cylinder order from Brookhouse should see it moving again. Our original Honda SS50 that Pricess Diana rode while a childminder heeds many a story of youth. We have a couple of lovely retro hot hatches coming in very soon! I am glad to report that the advice we offered Paul with his 76 Mercedes was correct despite various opinions. The older Mercedes love a fuel pump! We have a lovely RWA MG Midget on wires which will be offered for sale shortly along with another genuine Sportpack Mini. Festival of Transport Hellingly - August bank Holiday weekend. Great show soon. Please support. Stay safe folks and please support the local Classic car shows.

Austin A35 Pickup. 475 were made officially, 241 sold to the UK market. This 1960 was specially converted from a van many years ago and looks better than the original pick up design. Owned and used locally for the last 20 years by an elderly gentleman for tip runs still retaining it's original charm. Very rare sight of what was once 'the every mans utility car'. Work to recommision and tidy up OSL160 by it's previous owner halted due to ill health but it is currently in the workshop to get her up and running again.
