1968 Wolseley 1300 Auto

As well as my Elf I have:

71 Clubman (hydrolastic)
72 Clubman Estate
74 1275GT
89 Mini Sky (daily)
91 Mini Neon (wife's daily)

The first three are all in project stages though the 71 is drivable though not MOTd. As you see each of my Minis is a fairly rare version.

Then the non-Minis:

79 Capri MkIII 1.3 (surprisingly rare, project)
84 VW T25 camper with Rover 3.5 V8 Not exactly common either!

1959 Vauxhall PA Velox

a 1982 Mk1 Golf GTI purchased new in May '82....now awaiting some tlc

Dunno if my '97 Passat estate will ever be a classic but I like it!!!!!

I also have a Bosch Lawnraker 32 which is quite handy if I feel I may be in a violent mood .....or have an itch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

My wife is now 65 Tony so now we need a comp to see who is the oldest couple in this Society !!!

I was 65 in August gone! I am pretty sure We are not the oldest couple I have to add my Classic open to my list but that is a doner car for my van project!

I have a '59 MGA 1500 Roadster. Fully and completely restored but driven 18000 miles in the last 4 years.

Along with my Elf I have a 1960 Austin Seven and a 1966 Porsche 912.

1968 MG Midget - burns loads of oil, but it's been in the family for 30+ years, so who cares!
1977 DL16 FF2000 cars - (2 of them) usually in a million pieces.
1968 998 Mk 2 Cooper (a basket case for the last 25 years & likely to remain that way for the next 25)
1933 MG K3 - Another heirloom, loads of trouble, but bags of fun, doesn't burn oil, just leaks it in buckets.
I guess an 1997 Audi A4 doesn't count.........

But I wish I'd never sold my Mk1 998 Cooper

In our household we have a varied bunch - I have Henry my 1967 Elf as well as a donor car (Pac man), a VW Beetle called Barnaby and a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

I have Evlin 64 Elf
Triumph Herald Sold in the summer ( Now wish not)
I am on look out for something else intresting!! modified classic may be
My other two cars are not classics
98 Subaru Legacy Estate that has been to the moon and back, which is great in the current weather
07 Honda S2000 that has a very pampered life with just over 12000 miles and is not great in the current weather

Some lovely cars listed there, jealous of some now lol

A40 Farina as a daily? Cool! I used to have a nice one but sold it in favour of my Minis as I didn't think it was quite "me". That decision may have been a mistake... A40 pics

I thought Mini's and variants suffered from the dreaded tin worm but A40's are in a different league. I love the rear springs, I presume the leaf separation in down to more tin worm activity.

Generally they always were prone to rust. Mine was much better than average, having been barn-stored for several years before I bought it. The springs were caused by rust as you say - I guess they got the salt of a British winter before it was parked up!
