Heated seats and car alarm but no first aid kit or warning triangle. That's an interesting set of priorities. Looks like your trip was worthwhile with the bits you were able to salvage. Regards, Brian

And here is some more on the Hsipano Suiza. https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-1937-hispano-suiza-j12-gurney-nutting-3279-28 Regards, Brian

Fabulous music of the era. So good I had to turn up the amp to near full power just so that wonderful base could rock the house. Each to his own I guess.... Regards, Brian

A picture is worth a thousand words; a video is thus worth a whole book. :) The swage line running through the centre of the front guards is a real GN trademark - although it was much copied by other coachbuilders as it reduced vibrations in the front guards. Regards, Brian

No more Trabbies - have you seen the price asked for them now? Skyhigh! Regards, Brian

Lokks great. How do we know when it is on? It would make a nice TK event. Also a good excuse to get the PV out and about. Regards, Brian

I am quite happy with my ability to use and enjoy a manual gearbox - and there is a real satisfaction with being able to use a non-synchro box precisely and smoothly. Modern motorists simply do not experience the art and science of using such a box and most would not know how or when to change...

Well Sean, even Henry Royce himself made a kit car. The bodies were always left to the owner's choice of coachbuilder. That's just the way of specialisation. Regards, Brian

Indeed a kit car; even in the days of horses and carriages the concept of a "kit-construction" was on the go. When you needed a new engine you went to the stables and selected a new horse or horses as the case might be. No-one ever made all the parts for the carriage and the horse as well, even...

The Mercedes recall technician arrived on time, tested and passed the ML as fit for use. Phew. MB will inspect in 18 months time to ensure the integrity of the issue. I had to prise the technician out of the E350 Coupe as he fell in love with it, not having seen the colour combination...

Even better; Mercedes-Benz will come to me to inspect and if necessary, will take the ML to their workshop at their expense. I have never had cause to complain about the level of service.

Oh dear! Recall for brake booster. Nearly 18,000 recalls to be done in Australia but to their credit MB will do it next week and provide a loan car. No hesitation in looking after the ML recall for me and very quick response time. Regards, Brian

Perhaps consider a Honda Legend? That is, if you can find one as they did not sell in great numbers in Australia. The Accord though is a lovely smooth and quiet car to drive. Regards, Brian

"Point taken Brian.... but.. but how much downside can there be on a Sub $20,000 MG say after 5 years with little costs along the way... 5 year Warranty I think ?? Even if it drops like a stone, not many $$s Most Cars will loose that much driving them out of the Dealers new. The West has a lot...

I took the Phantom V to Peats Ridge yesterday for the Club's Drive and Be Driven Day and I have to advise that the MG just does not cut the mustard by comparison. 57 years after the PV was built I can buy spares off the shelf. I challenge you to do that with the MG if it were even to last that...

Certainly Patrick. Your cheque is in the mail?🤣 Regrads, Brian

And to keep Patrick happy ....

Bridgestone and Yokohama are abouty $150 a tyre more that the Continental.... Regards, Brian

Oh picky, picky! Give me time. Regards, Brian
