IN PRAISE OF PATINA

IN PURSUIT OF PERFECTION • When David New rescued this 1969 MGC GT after it had been sitting under a tree for 25 years, he decided there would be no corners cut in its restoration. As a result, some eight years after its triumphant return to the road, this MG still looks better than new.

ONE FOR THE CONNOISSEUR • Having completed the overhaul of our own rather basic Cortina 1600L, we move upmarket and take a look at Danny Wright's delightful Mk3 Cortina GXL, the plushest of the Cortinas until the arrival of the 2000E.

I WANT THAT ONE... • You may remember Ian Macaulay from the May issue, when we featured his Yugo 513. This issue we make a return visit to see another unusual car in the Macaulay fleet – this 1961 Metropolitan Coupé.

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT... • Hillman’s Imp was a thoroughly modern design in 1963 that offered scintillating performance and great style, as were the many variants wearing other badges. Here at Classics Monthly we are big fans of the entire range, and this is our selection of trivia from a story that started with initial thoughts in 1955 and lasted in production from 1963-1976.

RELIANT REGAL 3/25 DE-LUXE • Last issue we introduced our new Reliant Regal project and explained some of the rationale behind it. This issue we break out the spanners and separate the body from the chassis in preparation for the restoration proper to begin.

Parting with the RSP Mini

Sorting the Davrian’s steering

Minor Van surges ahead

A stitch in time saves nine

Troubleshooting with Steve Rothwell • Our helpful Q&A hotline may be able to solve your classic-related problems, so why not email us at classics.ed@kelsey.co.uk and we’ll do our best to help.

PROJECT TR7 • As far as project cars go, our TR7 was in better shape than most and certainly not in need of restoration. However, there are a surprising number of jobs to squeeze into our final report.

PROJECT ROVER 95 • Exercising our 1964 Rover shows up a couple of faults – afuel leak from the carburettor and wipers that refuse to turn off. We also have a senior moment when trying to use the lights.

ENGINE INTERNALS • This issue, we look at some of the major signs of wear in a stripped engine. This is best viewed as an introduction to the subject, and you will definitely also need a good workshop manual for tolerance figures, and probably some expert advice from an engine specialist too. Hopefully though, we can point you in the right direction.
