Haha, it's very capable in the corners already for such a big heavy car. However all this talk of thicker anti-roll bars and stiffer shocks is making me want more 😂. Coming from the diesel Audi I'm getting used to the torque being much higher up the rev range. She takes a bit of winding up but once she's rolling she makes an embarrassment of much pricier newer cars. I'm excited for the updates too 😍

Very nice, I can never decide if I prefer the square headlights or round...
Sadly I only have a pinstripe on one side but I can add another without too much trouble 😂

Nice car, I really like the silver. I did consider the aj16s but they do cost a packet. I'd like to do my own thing anyway, make up a manifold for the turbo I want and go from there. I used to had a mk3supra and I like to stick to what I know is good so a ct26 would be my turbo of choice. I want a big single cause they're more fun so if I have to get creative for it to fit then, challenge accepted 😁 Thanks for the offer of bumper chrome's but I think I'm going to leave those black. I quite like it.

I've been busy over the last couple of days, she's had a service, I've tightened the fan belt as that was squeeling it's head off and she's had a good wash, next job I need to get the inside scrubbed up. 😍 She doesn't need any restoration work actually,it's surprisingly solid, the paint looks worn up close but that's it. I'm considering lowering it and I want the wheels gold. And a turbo of course 😂

Go for it man, I'm well impressed with mine, they do look awesome slammed and that was going to be my first job but it's already pretty low, being a sport so I'm leaving it for now.

Hi retro riders, I've had a 2 year break from retro car heaven, driving an Audi A4 😴. But now I'm back! I've always fancied a forty but I was a bit worried it'd drive like all the other jags I've ever driven. List includes; series 1, 2 and 3, X300, XJR, XKR and X Type (never owned a Jag though) Needless to say my hubby said they don't drive like a Jag and they don't. The suspension and steering feel presice. The steering is very heavy for a Jag but it means I can feel the road, in short, I love it! I want to paint the wheels gold, put the grill back to chrome, give her a service and ultimately turbo charge it 😎 watch this space...

A fab event including impressive aircraft mixed with cars and bikes all on show. The Vintage 1954 Avro Shackleton, a descendant of the legendary Lancaster bomber is owned by Retro Rides member Phil Woods, phil2600s, and his Dad and is being restored back to flight. We're hoping to raise some funds to help this along while having some good fun too. The aircraft will be open during the day, with no barriers around her so you're able to get in and around it as much as you want. We'll also be running her up at some point during the day...Four Supercharged 37 litre V12 Rolls Royce Griffon engines producing 10'000hp is something you'll not forget in a hurry! There will be food available, fixed wing and rotary pleasure flights subject to availability, and a professional photographer to take photos of your car/bike with the Shackleton at the end of the day for a small fee. Entry for classic and retro cars is £7 and bikes £3.50 and everything goes towards the maintenance and restoration of the aircraft. We're space limited so we could do with an idea of who would like to attend! See you there!

1972 Daimler Series 1 4.2 Auto, short wheel base Missing it's engine, gearbox and seats, the brakes including the handbrake all work mint which is surprising. Largely solid, the drivers outer sill has a hole and N/S/R radius arm mount has a small hole. The paintwork is average, some small bubbles but nothing major and it polishes up really nicely. It's tax exempt and I have the V5 in my name. I have loads of spare parts available to assist with the restoration, pretty much everything to make it complete, I just don't have time to restore it myself and I need the space as I will be moving soon to a smaller place. Any questions please ask on here or call Phil on 07446 163061.

Classic Italian Vitaloni California mirrors were fitted to retro sports cars in the 1950s onwards such as Fiat 500, 600, 850, 124 Spider, 126, 131 , Lancia Fulvia, Alfa Spider and Ferrari 208, 308 and many more classic cars that suit a universal smooth aerodynamic retro style mirror. Bought for a project that was never finished. These are brand new in the box. I paid £160.
