FAMILY TIES • Lee Pace inherited a love of Ford's Consul Classic and Capri from his father Mick, and the two of them combined to produce this truly gorgeous example of the Capri line.

TRAVELLING ON • After 52 years with just two owners, it is time for this Morris Traveller called Gwendoline to be moving on.

THE VAUXHALL CARS THAT NEVER WERE • Mike Taylor continues his talk with gifted designer Wayne Cherry about some of the Vauxhall concept cars that have captured his imagination. This issue we look at four cars: Silver Bullet, Black Magic, Silver Aero and Equus.

A LABOUR OF LOVE • There is more to a classic car than just pounds and pence. John Bennett's Humber Sceptre is a perfect example of why the cost of our hobby is never as important as the pleasure it brings.

PROJECT MGB GT • Rob Hawkins ticks off several jobs on our MGB GT, including servicing the brakes, fixing a couple of leaky alloy wheels, plus replacing two old tyres and a cracked number plate.

This is very affordable prestige!

VANDEN PLAS 1.7 • Having got our new project Vanden Plas safely back to base from the auction in Newcastle, we set about addressing some of the problems that became apparent on that initial run.

RELIANT REGAL 3/25 DE-LUXE • Just two pages on our Regal project this issue, not because work has slowed down but because we are really squeezed for space in the magazine! We are making good progress though, and hopefully by the time you read this the Reliant will have been driving up and down the yard.

LAND ROVER SERIES IIA 109 SAFARI • With the Land Rover’s cylinder head removed, a more thorough investigation of the engine’s condition can be made and, hopefully, the cause of some of the problems determined.

BMW Z3 PROJECT • This month we finish panel preparation, get those panels painted and bolt the everything back together. Our BMW is now looking like a car again!

AFFORDABLE PRESTIGE • Fancy taking your motoring life to a new level with something a little exotic or out of the ordinary, but don't have silly amounts of money to spend? Here are 15 classics that you might want to consider.

AUSTIN A125 SHEERLINE 1947-1954 • Who on earth made this vast land yacht of a luxury car? Why, Austin of course – purveyor of fine motor cars to leaders of industry.

LOTUS ESPRIT S3 • Get some James Bond style on your driveway without breaking the bank. Just stay away from the boating lake.

JAGUAR XK8 COUPÉ 1996-’05 • A stylish Jaguar...
