These were only available in the UK in three colours, this, a Frozen Brands Hatch Grey and Frozen Deep Green. At this price, I'd want the green.

How much are you saving by supplying your own parts, if that's the reason?Is it that beneficial from the garage's point of view to just charge labour?

Geertsen said: QuartzDad said: I did not realise that you could transfer a plate onto a car that requires and doesn't have a current MOT. I put a plate on a car with an expired MOT a couple of years ago, a 2012 Ford. However, a few weeks earlier I tried to put a different plate on a 1974 MG which didn t need an MOT (it was taxed and insured) and it wouldn t let me do it. I got an error saying it required an MOT. I found it a very weird scenario, if your car requires an MOT and is expired you can put a plate on, but if it is a historic vehicle it needs a current MOT to put a plate on. Both MO

Clio 182 서비스 시 정품 르노 오일 필터를 공급했는데 장착된 필터가 Mann 필터임. 필터가 깨끗해 보이고 교체 여부가 확실하지 않음. 블록 옆면에 오일 자국도 보이지 않음.

Renault Clio 182 서비스 후 정품 Renault 오일 필터 대신 Mann 필터가 장착된 것으로 보임. Mann 필터가 새 것처럼 보이지만 실제로 교환되었는지 확실하지 않음. 엔진 블록 측면에 오일 자국이 없어 필터 교환이 의심스러움.

For an M5 I'd much rather have an understated E39 or F10. This is just too much of everything.

I’ve owned a few RS cars over the years, I briefly owned a Nogaro RS2 in the 1990’s before it was stolen, painted white and used in a few robberies before being written off! For me the B7 was peak RS4, I found the B8 a bit sterile in comparison but I don’t think the B5 was as good as some suggest, I really don’t get the price tag or the desirability.

Unreal said: I took a quick look. I couldn't see tables which covered the age of cars. Maybe I missed them but I don't see how there can be much data on EVs more than a decade old.Well that's largely because there aren't that many cars to measure. Autotrader (not the natural choice to sell an old car) seems to have about 215 EVs listed older than 2016. They've done a very wide range of mileages, and every single one of them drove there. But that's just survivor bias. We desperately need the chart that shows that for every 2014 Model S on 250,000 miles there are ten in the scrapyard with the

I'd have one of these over an Audi Q9, but that's probably damning with faint praise.

This is X818GGX now X121UFO. I sold this back in 2008 to a 'collector', and it's passed around a fair bit in the years since. It pops up for sale every once in a while with a couple of hundred more miles on the odometer but 5k more on the price.The AI written advert is weird, and I've no idea why it shows 1 owner when it's 6. I fitted RNSE to it way back in the day, might even have the original radio in a draw somewhere...Photos from February it seems, but keeper changed in June. Who knows.

bigothunter said: Classic Black and Silver Plates: Vintage/classic vehicles (historically pre-1973 in the UK) use raised silver or white characters on a black background. These non-reflective surfaces lack the modern retroreflective properties required by standard ANPR sensors. As a result, older reports and motoring news indicate that modern digital traffic and speed cameras can fail to pick them up properly, particularly in the dark.ref: https://www.carsuk.net/classic-car-number-plates-c...I'm not a massive fan of the look on more modern cars, but black and silver pressed plates used to be

Things are moving quite quickly now!Last night Neil, who has been a great support and motivator for the last year, decided to drive the Facel back to his house, a huge distance of 11 miles! Apparently, the car didn't overheat and ran reasonably well, albeit driving gently. That's the furthest it has been driven since the very early 1970s.This was the image I received on WhatsApp with the simple message 'Made it!'.Yesterday my son arrived for a visit. He was not even two years old when I bought the Facel with the express intention of having a car the whole family could go out in. He has never s

Sadly, he is no longer with us and EPH 4B was subsequently restored to its former glory by Justin Banks (P5BNij's post also shows it post restoration).Yes thats nim. A lovely man, shame hes nit with us. He would tell axstory about an Excellence which De Galle used, but tje chassis twisted and they couldnt open any of the doors..!!Somewhere I have a photo of an hk500 cab taken at s

Christ Almighty, will the problems ever end?I'm really disappointed for you on the half arsed engine rebuild but at least the numerous problems have been identified and can be rectified.After all this, you deserve for there never to be another problem with this car as long as you live!

Over the last few weeks I've found and read this thread from start to finish. A great time to do so as it now shows a running car. I've always thought these were fantastic cars and can only imagine what the ownership experience is like - truly maddening I guess but the highlights must have massive reward. The memory of delays and difficulties will fade, the memory of Goodwood lawns will be permanent!Well done and thank you to @theadman for seeing it through, and for sharing it - I cannot think that if I had been in your situation it would have been such a well mannered thread!

Back in the late 90s I did a brewery tour of a kent brewer and he had an hk500 in an outbuilding, ripe for restoration. And in kent someone I once knew called (i think) Eric had one, and an Aston V8So yes please to more of the car!

Let's start with a confession... Sharing this is not just about enlightening those few who might be interested in an obscure French car that most people have never heard of; I'm hoping it might also be therapeutic for me...a kind of virtual psychiatrist's couch!For many of my friends I am defined by my efforts to return a Facel Vega HK500 to the road. Conversations with them will barely last a couple of minutes before they pop the inevitable question...'How's the Facel coming along?' At that point I usually delve deep into the book of excuses or try to change the subject! It hasn't been an eas
