All this dried mice excrement fell down on me and there behind the visor was a hole in the headlining about an inch in diameter. There was nothing for it, the headlining had to come out.

  • Life Begins After 30 the Range Rover Classic
    Life Begins After 30 The Range Rover Classic By Jeffrey B. Aronson Age slips up to most of us, and the next thing you know, you’re a “classic.” It may be hard to believe, but the Range Rover has now delighted automotive enthusiasts since its unveiling 31 years ago. When Land Rover afficionados discuss “old Land Rovers,” they must now include Range Rovers, too. The Range Rover has been with us in much the same manner for three decades; even the “new” model in 1994 retained many of the engineering cues of the original. The original Range Rover, dubbed the “Classic,” took the Land Rover concept of “crossover vehicle” and made it more sophisticated. Whereas the Land Rover made itself into a station wagon by adding more seats to a utility vehicle, it First didn’t fool passengers one bit. The Range Rover Impressions combined luxury, performance, station wagon utility, and of course, off road capability, in a car that asked little compromise from its owners. Look at a photo of the Range Rover, the two- American 4 x 4’s included International Bruce McWilliams, reported he was white-knuckled door of its first decade.

  • Bertone Name to Return with Brand New 217-Mph EV Supercar
    Dec 28 2018 by Alasdair Lindsay Bertone name to return with brand new 217-mph EV supercar There hasn't been a Bertone car since 2013's Aston Martin Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2 – but new EV marque Dianchè is bringing Bertone back for a new supercar Bertone is back in the car business after a five-year absence with a brand new 217-mph supercar planned for production by newly founded EV marque Dianchè. Dubbed the Dianchè BSS GT Cube, the new Bertone-badged supercar has a claimed power output of 600kW (804 bhp) through a 300kW motor attached to each axle, supposedly good enough 217 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 2.2 seconds. More Bertone designs One-off Aston Martin Rapide Bertone Jet 2+2 could be yours Exclusive video: Inside the forgotten Bertone archives Buy a Bertone-penned classic car from our classifieds There's one catch to Bertone's return, however – it's in name only. Following the original Gruppo Bertone's bankruptcy in 2014 (and one year after unveiling its final concept car), the Bertone brand was sold to AKKA Technologies, which is now licensing the Bertone brand to Dianchè's parent company, Flymove. Claiming to be influenced by Bertone design language, Dianchè recently unveiled a pair of wildly different concept cars alongside their plans for the GT Cube: the Bertone BSS GT One sports car and an aptly named City Car BSS Cube. There's also another variant of the City Car planned, the entry-level City Car One, which looks a bit like if a Renault Twizy had been in the 1987 cult film RoboCop.

  • Engines : Rover SD1 Six Leyland's First, Triumph's Last
    Engines : Rover SD1 Six Although it has received a bit rap in the trade thanks to its well-documented problems, the SD1 Six is a very capable engine. However, it could have been so much more had it been given the start it so richly deserved. On its 30th birthday, Robert Leitch casts an analytical eye over this oft-maligned engine and separates fact from fiction… Leyland’s first, Triumph’s last In my beginning is my end. In succession Houses rise and fall, crumble, are extended. T S Eliot, Four Quartets – East Coker THE merger agreed on January 17th 1968 which briefly created the world’s fourth largest car manufacturer was a new beginning, yet it was inevitable that some of the ‘houses’ from which this rambling megastructure was constituted would eventually fall. The engine which powered the mid- range Rover SD1 cars represented both a beginning, as the first all-new engine from the merged company, and an end, as the last power unit to be designed by the engineering department of the Triumph motor company, 1 With the rich benefit of hindsight, it should have been clear that the utmost priority should have been given to developing a new range of engines to replace the bewildering and overlapping range of power units inherited by the merged business, many of which originated in the two middle decades of the twentieth century. It is indicative of the paralysis and petty tribalism which prevailed in the first decade of British Leyland’s existence that the first new ‘Leyland’ engine did not appear until October 1977, nearly ten years after the company’s creation.

    E4 Our ‘proper’ Oldtimer numbers this year are about the same as last year, but our Classic entries—1973 on if in a C2 club—have grown significantly so that our numbers this year will be nudging 400—yet again a record. As the format of this programme, which we introduced last year, has proved successful, we’ve naturally stuck with it. You should be able to get this and last year’s programme on your mobile etc from www.Oldtimer.uk.com, where you can request email circulars on our rallies; next year we intend to accept entries online via our website, www.Oldtimer.uk.com—however, if you still require a paper entry form for next year, please either give the Secretary at HQ here today or send her by post a Stamped Addressed Envelope, as in future we will only be sending information by email—if you’ve had to pay postage bills lately you’ll know why! As many of you will know, the Airshow planned for 8th June this year didn’t happen—although by way of compensation the Red Arrows did come, giving a wonderful display lasting nearly half an hour. With just seven days notice we were allowed to organise a rally on The Leas here, and 40 cars turned up to take advantage of the offer—as seems to be MG TA 1937 usual for our events, in magnificent warm sunshine. The central photo on the cover taken over the bonnet of a mag- nificent Silver Cloud III gives the flavour! As ever, we are grateful to our sponsors, Folkestone Town Council, for the prizes and plaques, our judges and mar- shals From Folkestone Automobile Club and the Lions, local landowners and businesses for displaying posters, and Shepway District Council for smartening up The Leas for the Bank Holiday.

As entries closed for this year’s rally, the forecast was for the hottest late August Bank Holiday ever! As our rally, since the earliest days - 1896 - has always been at this time of the year it could be the best rally weather we’ve ever had, if not too hot! Our ‘Grand Oldtimer Car Club’, meeting on the second Wednesday of the month at The Grand, now has 85 members, with 10-15 coming to the monthly meets and a group attending many of the car rallies principally in Kent during the summer season; this year we also had an airshow again on 30 June featuring a half hour Red Arrows display with an impromptu car rally on The Leas, and a spectacularly large crowd. The club has provided the judges for today’s event; we do, however, rely on you and our visitors to vote for the car you would most like to take home with you - voting slips are available from HQ at the top of The Grand’s Palm Court steps from 2pm, with the final count being made just before the prize giving at 3.30pm. An innovation last year was a better public address system, provided locally by Alex Savage who set up on his own here and has already acquired some prestigious jobs.
