As I've mentioned previously, I've owned my little red MG for just over four and a half years, after being gifted it by a member of my family to complete a banger rally with friends. As it turned out, I ended up being the only person who wanted to complete said rally, so in the …
If you'd like to read previous updates for the Curfew Jag, then you can find them here It has been a while since I've taken the Curfew Jag out for a drive, though in the meantime we've completed a few more small jobs to sort a couple of faults and make the car more useable. …
https://www.youtube.com/embed/iicRoqfv5Ek It took slightly longer than I expected for something to go (reasonably) seriously wrong with the Curfew Jag, although to be fair, it was brought on by my mildly excessive use of the throttle off road. Having access to a field always made it inevitable that I was going to end up driving one …
I bought this on a bit of a whim on eBay in August 2017, and its in the list of cars to be saved. I’ve always got time to appreciate an interesting Alfa, and this one is certainly something a little bit different, as it’s a mid engine Busso V6 conversion 'designed' to emulate the …
After posting a photo or two of the 6.5l Jag on social media recently whilst moving cars in the workshop so that the floor could be painted, and being asked questions about it, I thought it was probably well past time to give the car its own page and write a post or two about …
At the end of 2019 I finally managed to pass the 200,000 mile mark in J258. I use the car as a daily driver and have been trying to use it more on longer runs as my commute is really rather short. Longer runs are a little more palatable now that the fuel economy is …
It has been a long time since I've posted an update for this particular car, and even if you follow my social media channels you may not be familiar with it, as it has been in storage. At the time that this little MG arrived in my car time my intention was to modify it …
So I've bought another XJ-S, but this time its the XJ-S that featured in the recent Sky series 'Curfew', which stars Sean Bean (who drives this car). It got delivered last night after I purchased it at the H&H auction in Buxton on Wednesday - and its already taken a bit of a battering on …
There is nothing quite like driving a 'new' car for the first time, and this time the car in question is from a very short list of cars that I haven't heard my Dad say 'I've driven one of those' or 'I used to own one of those'. This is even more impressive given the fact …
As anyone who follows me on Twitter or Instagram may know, yesterday I had the interesting experience of attending the NCM 135 lot 'barn find' classic car auction near Preston, which has received quite a lot of online attention in recent weeks. After a 4 hour plus journey, parking in a field so boggy it …
