2004 Hyundai 2 Litre Coupe - Wife's runabout (a Future Classic ?)
2005 Mazda RX8 - My runabout (undoubtably a Current & Future World Champion Love/Hate Object)

Also as my wife will be 64 in November & I am already 69 since June, I wish to lay claim to the oldest couple award = 133 years !

Just found this picture of my old Ford Bronco when I lived in Iceland. What a great truck!

David 2010 [/quote[left] You are but a young couple- we are the oldest couple at 146 years and hopefully we will be at Castle Combe in 2 weeks to claim the prize!!!

Oh 'ek, I started something when I put my wife down as one of my classics didn't I! LoL!

Can any other couple claim to be older than these two?

For the last 12 years I had my own little company, very flexible hours, and started piling up lots of projects. I had the opportunity to play errrrrrr work on my own projects when the phone wasn't ringing. Unfortunately those days seem to be gone, I recently had to go back to a "real" job and now I have very limited time for fun stuff.

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!

Some changes in the coupld of years since the original post.
The Capri has gone, it was my son's and he has moved next door where he is restoring a Mini pickup instead.
The Neon has gone to fund other projects (before it became a project itself!) In its place I bought a 79 Clubman estate for £50 (would have been rude not to!) There is also a 74 Beetle in storage in the garden for my prospective son-in-law.

The 71 Clubman restoration is completed and it's done a few shows. The Sky is now fitted with a 1275 Cooper motor.

Currently working on the 71 estate which is being done to my eldest daughter's spec (and, unusually, her funds too!) with a 1.8 MGF engine

A red 940 cc Bugeye Sprite bored to 998, 12G295, Weber, cam, extractors, double row timing chain and Cortina front discs. Cuter than a rat with gold teeth

Nice to see im not alone in a collection of projects.

Hi I have a Wolseley 1000 1966 that is in 100% original condition that I got from my grandfather after he passed away and I would like to know what is the value of the car.

Thanks

Sorry 1967-01-01 model

This was my Mustang from 1989-2012. It started as a rusty mess with a banged up quarter. I was in middle school when we started and spent each summer until senior year of college working on the car. Then I drove the hell out of it and probably should've done some rust proofing because it began rotting away all over again. Still looked great and ran smoothly but I didn't want to tear it down and start over again. So I decided to pass it over to someone else. Then my brother in law put the Mini into my head and here I am.

What a stunning car there Mark, pity about the rust though. My brother would really like one like that for himself!

1968 Riley Elf MkIII named, "Olive"
1998 Rover Mini SPI Japan Spec named, "Winston"
