Vintage cars, bikes, buses and traction engines with the added attraction of boats and water! Great vehicles, great food, great attractions, great facilities and great people… what more can anyone ask for!
The emphasis will be on a relaxed family atmosphere with the opportunity for vehicle owners to mingle and share stories with boat owners and enthusiasts, along with other petrol heads.
The involvement of groups coming as, and representing a club or marque are welcome, as well as those owner/driver individuals. With stalls, entertainment, a central show arena and much more get yourself booked in for this great weekend! There will be a central parade area and prizes to be handed out in various categories.
An opportunity for owners to enjoy a trip out in a vintage boat on the lake is something not available at other events and should make the 2018 Vintage Vehicle Show at Beale Park a must for your diary.
With free admission for pre-war vehicles (ticket required from the link below) and excellent prices for all other vintage vehicles, there is every reason to give this weekend a try.

Good morning. I know this subject was covered on the old postings but what is the consensus for the best material to use between the body and chassis?
I have a roll of the felt originally used but should it be soaked in Waxoil? Alternatively does anyone know the name of the building material used on the Wheeler Dealers Morgan restoration?

Hi is it just me that is now getting an email advising of all the new threads from the forum.  I have checked my subscriptions and not subscribed, even clicking on the link in the email notifications to unsubscribe tells me I have no subscriptions.  This only started a couple of weeks ago and would like to stop them if possible...

The centre piece of the Madeira Classic Car event last weekend..... perhaps an original import as I noted the speedometer is in kms. ?????


           

Trying to dismantle a marine gearbox casing. Under the top, there are four setscrews fastening the apparatus for holding the end of the gearstick selector. They go into a particularly thin piece of the gearbox casting. 
Two will not shift. 
Tried kitchen flambe gas torch, tried WD40, tried a sharp but not too hard tap, but now the screw tops are starting to wear at edges of the slot.

Don't want to disturb/damage the casing - what next before I have to drill them out?

Hi All,

Chris Gould's book on Ulsters notes that the bakelite wiring blocks are available new. These are the saddles with rubber gaskets that hold the wires to the bulkhead. I have checked the usual suppliers(Vintage Car Parts, Green Spark Plug, Holdens) and have had no luck. Do any sources come to mind?

i fitted a new distributor as other worn and loss of power on hills and irregular firing.
Bingo, best the a7 tourer has been. Superb for 200 miles in Brittanny when sudden failure due to stripping of teeth of gear .
Seems identical to the troubles I have just been warned about, and surely must b the same faulty gear on replacement part as on new dynamotors. 
Thus simply buying a new distributor to replace dynamotors is no good, .
Who makes the gear and how do I find a different one?
