A very Special A7 Superchargedfor sale £60k

[Dutch-Ulster rep]

And what to think of:

Jaguar 3.4 Mark 1 Mike Hawthorn Replica

Who wouldn't want him in the garage, either for real or in replica??

[Hedd_Jones]

You forced me to look again Hedd - I see no Vintage cars for sale on that site at all???

I dont think a cut down Ruby cowl will have made it look Pre War either!. 

[Charles P]

The "Land Crab" van and the Fiat 500 Jolly are superb!

What a reat start to the day.

My father had an Austin 2200 back in the early 70's. (YEV???L - odd to remember that)
We went all over Europe in it - alpine passes and the lot.
A fabulous and ludicrously spacious car for those sort of travels but rather primitive in terms of comforts (plastic seats, no air con) compared to a modern vehicle.

My friend Phil Parsons used to camp in the back of his - full size air bed!

My parents' Chummy was less primitive by your terms - it had air con by virtue of no side screens, not modern though, even then.

All my cars have had air-con, be-it wind-down windows, opening windscreen, scuttle vents or sunshine roof. My fifteen year-old modern is the first car I've ever owned with 'modern' air-con, and I have used it no more than a dozen times in as many years. What's wrong with opening windows?

[Ian Williams]

if its just as hot outside then a lot, if you had summers like ours you would be extremely grateful of your AC Mike!

What's the issue? Mid-summer here in the UK (10 days past the solstice), 17 degrees with light rain in North Wilts. Lovely summer weather!

[Ian Williams]

Thats mid winter not summer!

[Reckless Rat]

32°C in the shade here in Rekkersland. I'm thinking of taking off my Arran sweater.

[Mike Costigan]

Ian, I'm sure air-con has its uses in hotter climes, but I don't understand the importance UK owners put on the facility. I have never used mine to cool the cabin, the only times I've used it is to dehumidify after getting into the car in a rather wetter-than-damp state.
