theadman said: More of the car to follow and thanks for the encouragement!If the Eric in question was Eric Philpott, he had a number of Facels, including the ex Ringo Starr car which P5BNij posted pictures of above. 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

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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

MikeMi-4 said: My wife and I absolutely love the Renault 5E but I was gutted when I tried to spec a Pop Green one with heated seats and steering wheel. It turns out that if you want Pop Green then you have to have the Techno spec which doesn't come with heated seats and steering and you can't spec these items individually as they only come as part of the Iconic+ spec. On the plus side, the Iconic+ spec gives you the acid yellow seat colour which is really funky. We spoke to a salesperson in Paris (when we were on holiday) about the Pop Green/heated seats issue and they didn't know anything

Dog Star said: Bengaside said: I struggle to see the appeal of such large SUVs. To my mind, it would be like driving a Transit van everywhere, albeit a well appointed one. Sure, they do look fantastic and will out drag most cars off the line. But, as soon as the roads narrow or get a little twisty - which living in the Cotswolds is pretty much all of the roads - and the drivers of large SUVs end up going significantly below the speed limit. I assume either owing to the high centre of gravity eroding their confidence, or the sheer size of the car making it difficult to place on the road. In p

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.

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

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?
