Re: 1979 Trouble Spitfire
I haven't had that many Citroens and only one sinker. I still fancy a DS or SM one day but Peugeots have been my thing lately 201, 202, 204, 205, 206, 207. I have a couple of gaps to fill there before moving on to the 3's

Re: 1979 Trouble Spitfire
I quite fancy giving a modern sinker a go. I drove Mr6C DS at a previous shitefest and found it the hardest car to drive that I ever have driven. LHD, column shift, self centring steering, binary hydraulic brakes, foot handbrake and an expensive car all would have been fine alone or maybe a few of them. But all of them made it almost like learning to drive again.

There was a 607 2.0 manual petrol for auto trader the other day for £795. An old school, large saloon car without a 'premium' badge.

Re: 1979 Trouble Spitfire
Yesterday was a year that I've owned this. Where the feck has that time gone. Funnily enough I was up at storage collecting the old MGB GT wheels today. Had a peak in and the mouldy steering wheel has actually sorted itself.
Plan is to give the garage a tidy up and pull this back out now the weather is finally improving. Speedo needs fixing. Probably send it off to someone recommended on AS. Any other recommendations would be good.
