Mercedes 124 series estate, will be 20 next year. This car now undergoing very slow restoration to bring it back to as it left the factory.
A Mercedes 168 A class for general messing around and dog walking.

Elan's are apparently more unreliable than the British weather :doh:
Not far wrong there. What genius designed a sports car with a service interval of 1500 miles, a distributor mounted beneath leaky twin webers so you have to take it out to change the points, a clutch that can only be changed by taking the engine, gearbox and prop out as one unit and electrics that have a mind of their own?
Just passed its MOT for another year but advisory notes that run to two pages......

British engineering :tea:
My dad has worked on a few off them and as you said, apparently they are a nightmare, even simple jobs are made difficult because the people who built it clearly didn't think anything through
I think the main one for the Defender is not being able to remove the downpipe without either removing the engine :suspicious: or the X-member under the gearbox

I have two. I use my Saab 93 every day and the Landy is just there for bimbling about at weekends and lookig pretty in the driveway. However, at the moment, I have spent more money on fixing it compared to actually driving it
Hoping to take the Landy off road soon though

a p38, a 1986 escort xr3 project, and a 1987 bmw e30 325i m tech 1 sport, which is one hell of a drivers machine !
but being classic cars, they are cheap to insure,and insure the p38 as a 2nd car, so they sort of bounce off eachother...and all 3 cost sbout £500 a year, although selling the ford, tbh...3 lots of mot`s, tax, maintenence etc, is just a ball ache at times

Defender 90 (supposed to be the sensible practical car / tow vehicle)
Race spec classic mini - actually is more practical then the 90!
