I know its an old one but its a good one.

My latest purchase is this



Its a 1943ish Willys Jeep that only just fits in my garage.

I still have my Grey Sprint & my Clipper Blue 850 that will be getting a bit of TLC over the coming months.

My Rover P5B, owned for about 6 years, my third P5 and hopefully my last as its definately a keeper. Runs a 4.6 rather than the old 3.5 for extra oomph. Wheels are a bit wrong, the previous owner redrilled the hub to Merc pattern, I have some more suitable ones to go on soon.

Whats worng with a moke Mark !!! my dad away wanted one, why i will never know He did have a morris truck from the 2nd war think it was ex RAF sold it years ago.
I picked up an S from a chap in bristol a few years ago, he restored them, think he said he done half a dozen all so.

I have had a Moke & really loved it. However when I was building the racer I decided that it would have to go. Having regreted it I started looking for a replacement & almost sh4t myself when I saw the sort of money a good Moke was going for. S money is too much for me when it comes to buying a platform with an A series.

Adam (my lad) has been after me getting a Jeep for long enough so i decided it was probably a good idea while he was still young enough to enjoy it with me. Its not going to be long before he's a surly teenager who wants nothing more to do with me.

Also, the prices of Jeeps are going up even faster than early Minis so when I do come to sell I should make a few quid too

I've always had a soft spot for the Austin Gypsy. And I've got a young son who keeps going on about four wheel drives... Hmm.

Mark! you gum chewing regan lover! You should have bought a lightweight Landrover, the ones they used to drop out of the back of Argoseys, with a parachute on its back, or used to be hung under twin prop helicopters by the dozen, and dropped into Malaysia, or some other country where the natives are starting to bang their drums through the night...

A MINI-tracktor !! Only joking, I saw this one on ower vacation in France this year.

Hi billycooper, use to have a similar sti-ra! Yes, bloody fast, 280bp unmod. But sadly too fast for the insurance company. So, sold it to a friend in UK(yes, from Hong Kong to UK! )


Now keeping a subtle one(the insurance company don't know about cars!). She just woke up after 2 years of sleeping! Will take her out in the weekend!

The holy Grale

Had a 16v for a few years, cost me more in servicing than it did to buy, lost me my license as well.

God I miss that car.

Nero as well, the perfect colour.

Ian, you are so.......right! So much $$$ spent, but still love it!
Every Grale in HK are RHD, even some Evos.

Rich, I'll sent it right to your door when I get bore with it, though don't know when. Is it to your home or work?
