Re: Cheap Eclát and expensive Excel

I think the white Eclat is a great price, I'm sure it will sell for a fair amount more than£1.5K. I'm sure most of us just want the car don't think about profit :twisted:

Re: Emeya

yes I agree, but it will be harder to love the brand that makes cars for the mass market sometimes only for sale in China.
The MG brand is just a name it has nothing to do with its passed

Re: Castle Combe Autumn Classic - 23rd September 2023 - 75 years of Lotus

I think you get a passenger in for the £15.00, if you bring a car. If you are just a punter its £15.00 each.

Its becoming a common thing to pay to display or £5 off on a £50 ticket which was on a website for a show I had this summer for an event, its best not to bother I think.

Re: Saw my old car today

Re: Elite roof

You could make a mould from your roof top just behind the old sunroof opening. The shape of the roof should not be too different from the section in front. You could then mould a new roof section from this and cut it to size to fit the sunroof cut out and bond it in place. Or you could fit the 1st ...
