We weren’t kids - each being about 40, and we had just returned from driving UK to Spain and back in a Golf gti turbo (me) and an Austin Healey 3000 (him). The 930 did its best to kill us — as we went backwards into the gravel at 90 mph the threat was cle
If you were going any faster I could have been carsick. I like the Austin Healey 3000 stopped on the side. Possibly overheating (engine if coming up or brakes if going down) and driver says “Let’s stop and stretch our legs” before the he
I was doing a little research today in my "library", perusing the back pages of Classic & Sports Car magazines, when I came across an advert from a company (Clocks4Classics) whose product could repair the tachometer on my Lotus, which hasn't worked since

I got it in the uk and sold it in France some years ago. Very basic but efficient. The sucking noise from the cars was unique... nearly louder than the side exhaust! I owned also a Austin Healey Sprite mk2, a 1965 Elan S2 and 2 Elises S1. Light is right,
