Dear Classic enthusiasts,

Just to alert anyone out there who might be interested to know that
this Healey is back on the market. Husband has now finally decided to
let her go to a new home, but serious buyers only please. We will
consider all realistic offers as the car was restored 10 years ago and
hasn't had major works undertaken since then, so would suit anyone
wanting a 'project'. We can email photos. We are private owners
located near J6 of the M1 in the St Albans and Watford area.

Car info: Series BJ7; 2 plus 2, 60 spoke chrome wire wheels, tonneau
cover, four speed gear box with overdrive gear, original handbook,
bills etc.... This car has a special provenance in that it was the
very last complete MKllA off the production line, hence they painted
it British Racing Green, not a normal colour for the Mkll, to mark the
occasion. It also has an old style number plate (four numbers and two
letters 'TU' ) which might interest some.

Email for more information or to arrange a viewing.
Thanks,
Claudia.

Scion sales have hit a slump in the last 17 months, with a peak of
175,000 units sold in 2006, the youth-marketed brand's sales have
dipped to 130,000 vehicles last year. The solution will likely come
from three new vehicles to be released in the next few years. Scion's
veep, Jack Hollis, told Automotive News in an interview during the Big
Apple bash, that Scion is "studying two or three models in conceptual
form right now." Unfortunately, one of those was the Hako Coupe
concept that was unveiled in New York and was met with considerable
backlash from attendees and those of you following the show from home

Those of a sensitive nature may prefer to look away now.

I've just got myself a P6 spares car that, as is the nature of these
things, turns out to be too good to break for spares.
It's a 1972 2000TC in dogshit brown (Tobacco Leaf), with paint that's
thick and horrid. It's fitted with a single carb and the engine has
loads of bits missing (camshaft, side panel bolts, etc). But the base
unit's surprisingly sound, only needing identical repairs to the sill
ends that I carried out on my main P6 last year.

So it looks horrible and the engine's scrap - why don't I bung a turbo
diesel engine in it and create an economical runabout? Better than just
scrapping the thing, surely.

But what engine?
I've measured the Ford Endura 1.8TD in our Mondeo and one of those would
just about fit. Can they be bolted directly to a Sierra 5-speed 'box?
Any other ideas?
Needs to be modern enough to be economical and not too slow; cheap and
available; simple electronics; not too heavy; bonus if it doesn't sound
like a tractor.

Can anyone identify this car? It was in a stock-car race in France
about 1958. Looks like custom coachwork, but is it a Talbot-Lago or
a Delahaye?

And, are there any newsgroups specifically for 1930's/1940's cars?

Please post any answers here. Thanks!
