Coachbuliders

I was attending a classic car meeting some years ago and heard a couple of older chaps chatting about coach builders and their relative merits and faults. It seemed that the "Cars from Crewe" with Gurney Nutting coachwork were much desired. I asked why and it seemed it was the lines which ...

Re: 1936 Daimler V32 4. 5 Hooper Limousine

This car sold last year for £16,800 at auction, I forget which company. Either the buyer has realised it's not to his taste or someone is trying to make some money.

Re: Trailer with blowing bulbs

Thank you for your contributions Gentlemen. My friend took his car to a garage this morning and they have checked it over and found all is well. He has said that the bulbs keep popping out of their holders which I find difficult to comprehend as one was rather difficult to fit. Having learned of thi...

Trailer with blowing bulbs

A friend of mine has been using his caravan for several years without any major problems. However, recently he has been blowing the stop lamp bulbs with regular occurrences. He can change both bulbs, correct voltage/wattage and yet after 2 to 3 miles each has blown one after the other. He's checked ...

Re: Special Sports Wheel Cylinder

Are the wheel cylinders for Consorts and Sports unique to them? I know that the rear cylinders on some Regencies were/are the same as some fitted to the earlier Land Rovers

Re: Of or Off

Richard! How could you? :D ;) There's little that is pretentious in engineering. I have always used "off" when ordering things and most have understood. It was merely that this was questioned and I wondered which was correct.

Of or Off

When I order parts I will send a list. 1. 4 off XXXX 2. 3 off YYY etc etc. I tried this with one supplier via email and he thought it was a spam message as he would have used "4 of" rather than "4 off". Now would you learned Gentlemen be able to shed any light on this? Which of u...

Re: Daimler DE27

Not really a big decision is it? The white one at £13,995 or the black one, needing work at £14,995. Why do people assume that if a royal bum has been on the seats it must make the car more valuable?
