RESTORATION WORK GIVEN A LIFT

Anew Stertil Koni four-post lift is being put to use restoring and maintaining a fl eet of vintage and

veteran cars – all part of the Shuttleworth Collection, which looks after a large number of vehicles displayed regularly at air shows throughout the summer.

The Bedfordshire-based Shuttleworth Collection – a registered charity – wanted to replace its existing lift with one better able to cope with daily use, and eventually settled on one of Stertil’s ST4040 four-post lifts.

�The ST4040 offers a low drive-on height of just 130mm, giving easy access to even the lowest of vehicles, while its lifting height of 2000mm makes it comfortable to work under. Crucially, the platform’s adjustable width enables it to cater for narrow wheel tracks – essential when working on certain vintage models.

‘Veteran and vintage vehicles need more than casual attention and may be on the lift for some time, so the new lift is in constant use,’ said Neil Thomas of the Shuttleworth Collection.

In a surprise u-turn announced at the beginning of November, General Motors has decided not to

sell off its two main European brands – Opel and Vauxhall – despite a previous announcement that a deal had been struck with Canada’s Magna International.

According to a press release issued by the company, it’s all due to ‘…an improving business environment for GM over the past few months, and the importance of Opel/Vauxhall to GM’s global strategy’. And the turnaround could mean good news for GM’s two British plants (Luton and Ellesmere Port), with the hope that there will now be no compulsory redundancies – although it’s expected that up to 10,000 jobs could be lost

throughout Europe as GM tries to restructure its Opel brand, with the likelihood that two of its four German factories will close.

Fritz Henderson, president and CEO of General Motors Europe, commented: ‘We understand the complexity and length of this issue has been draining for all involved.� However, from the outset, our goal has been to secure the best long-term solution for our customers, employees, suppliers and dealers, which is refl ected in the decision reached today.� This was deemed to be the most stable and least costly approach for securing Opel/Vauxhall’s long-term future.’

Vauxhall has been part of General Motors since 1925, with Opel joining GM later the same decade.

BRIGHTON AWARD FOR JACQUES

The inaugural Hagerty LBVCR Achievement Award has been presented to Jacques Deneef

from Belgium – who was given the silver trophy by the classic car insurance specialist just prior to the 2009 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run (LBVCR) back in November.

The new annual award is being made to the person who, in the opinion of a panel of judges, has shown the most meritorious contribution to the LBVCR. And in the case of Jacques Deneef, he helped secure the greatest number of Belgian entries and the largest number of eligible Belgium-made cars participating in the event to date.

Angus Forsyth, managing director of Hagerty International, commented: ‘Having worked tirelessly to encourage a signifi cant number of his countrymen to the start line this year, Mr Deneef is a highly appropriate benefi ciary of an annual award of this nature.’

The presentation of the annual award represents a step-up in support for the LBVCR by Hagerty, which also hosts the annual cocktail party the night before the run, in honour of its 500-plus participants.

TR REGISTER BUYS SPECIAL COCA COLA TRIUMPH TR7

The TR Register has managed to acquire one of just three special-edition TR7s produced in 1978

by Star Vans – part of a joint venture between Coca Cola and Levi Strauss, with the three cars being given away in a competition.

Remarkably, all three TR7s have survived the last three decades. And when the example shown here was brought along to the TR7/8 Day at Knebworth back in August, complete with For Sale sign, the TR Register couldn’t resist snapping it up, as chairman Chris Cunnington explains: ‘When it became evident that it was for sale we thought: “Why not buy the car and use it as a promotional vehicle for the TR Register at shows and exhibitions around the country, as part of

a campaign to confi rm our support for this model?” Everyone could then see at fi rst hand a good example of the model, and maybe even have the opportunity to drive the car.’

All three TR7s were registered in Birmingham in 1978, before heading to Bedford-based Star vans to be resprayed in Coca Cola Red, complete with white livery and a Weathershield sunroof. Wolfrace alloy wheels were then fi tted, as was air conditioning and a larger alternator. The interior was re-trimmed, with the seats, door pockets, sun visors and parcel shelf all being trimmed in genuine Levi’s denim. Remarkably, there was even a tiny black and white TV fi tted in the glovebox, while the boot featured a fridge for keeping your Coca Cola cool…

We’re delighted to announce that Classic Car Mart has moved to a new home, following

the magazine’s acquisition by Kelsey Publishing – the UK’s most successful specialist motoring magazine publisher.

Already fi rmly established in the classic car scene with popular titles like MG Enthusiast and Triumph World, Kelsey is uniquely placed to build on the strengths of Classic Car Mart in the years ahead – ensuring we stay ahead and continue to produce the magazine that YOU want.

Out & About: NEC Classic Motor Show 2009

18 19Classic Car Mart January 2010 Classic Car Mart January 2010

Once again the NEC entertained

a huge number of enthusiasts

who had descended on

Birmingham for what is for most

the perfect season round-off.

With over 1000 cars and more than 200 car and

bike clubs, this show literally offers everything

under one roof for the classic car fan.

Those who were there may well have noticed

it was busier than usual. If you did, then you

weren’t wrong: event organisers estimate there

were some 48,000 visitors in total. That’s a show

record, up 8000 on last year’s fi gures.

We were pleased to hear that the dedicated group

of Sporting Bears managed to generate £38,000

over the three-day event to help many worthy children’s

charities. Generous donations were rewarded with

the opportunity to be a passenger in a ‘dream ride’.

Everything from a Lola T70 to a Lotus Europa.

There were far too many anniversaries to

mention in just this small space. The 2CVGB

club played host to a number of interesting

prototypes to commemorate 90 years of Citroen.

The Morgan Sports Car Club enthusiastically

celebrated the British marque’s centenary. A

number of clubs banded to pay homage to the

Mini as it turned 50, while Ford birthdays included

the Anglia’s 50th and the Carpi’s 40th.

Besides the usual traders and jumble stands,

visitors also had the chance to chat to a number

of dealers who had brought a selection of cars

for sale. Show regulars Mike Brewer and Edd

China fettled a variety of motors on the Live

Stage, while the Leeds College again gave

demonstrations at the Restoration Theatre. We

always feel that even over three days there’s not

enough time to tackle everything. Ah well, there’s

always next year!

NEC CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW 2009The annual end-of-season extravaganza that brings the crowds to Birmingham was bigger and

better than ever this year, says Chris Hope

‘Jemima’, his amazing 1964 Mk III

Ford Zephyr. All the panels are

original and it’s covered just

11,300 miles.

Fancy this one? Hall One was full of cars for sale: this 1973 MGB GT V8 was available through Moto-Build for just under £13,000.

Here’s Citroen eccentricity at its best.

This is the Coccinelle Project, one of several

interesting prototypes on the 2CVGB stand.

Here’s an often overlooked classic, a 1974

Mk I Granada coupe. It belongs to John

Kempson, club secretay and treasurer for the

Ford Granada Mk I and Mk II Drivers’ Guild.

A 1972 tangerine Marcos 3-litre

fi tted with the B30 straight-six

from the Volvo 164. This car was the last of the line.

Bought for £200, Matthew Oxley spent a further

£9000 restoring his series one Lotus Esprit

back to its former glory. It’s fi tted with the later,

210bhp 2.2-litre engine from the series three.

Dale Bishop had literally just fi nished

restoring his 1963 Hillman Imp

especially for this year’s NEC.

On the Porsche Club Great Britain stand

was this immaculate 1951 Porsche 356.

This particular one was raced and rallied

by Betty Hague.

This 1953 Morris Oxford convertible

belongs to Gary O’ Craft and was

converted to open-top to be a wedding

present for his wife. A £4000 conversion

to go 500 yards to the church. Is that

value for money motoring? Gary seems

to think so!

TO THE MANOR BORN

When the Silver Cloud was introduced in 1955, nobody could have imagined the success it would bring for Rolls-Royce – or how close it would push Bentley to the edge of collapse, says Keith Moody

It’s hard to underestimate just how important the Silver Cloud was for both Rolls-Royce and its sister company, Bentley. First of all, it marked the total integration of the

two marques – a process that had started with the Silver Dawn and Mk VI series. This meant that both cars shared the same pressed steel four-door saloon body while retaining the traditional separate chassis. But the impact of this new model, and the integration it heralded, was more far reaching and had huge consequences

for both Rolls-Royce and Bentley. For the former, it fi rmly established them as the maker of well-appointed luxury saloons; for the latter it marked the beginning of a period that nearly ended in the complete collapse of Bentley.

A NEW DAWNWork began on the project in 1950 under the direction of Henry Grylls, who in the following year became chief engineer of Rolls-Royce’s motor car division. His brief was to create a new car while

retaining the tried and tested inlet-over-exhaust engine. This meant creating several different prototypes. The fi rst, an experimental Bentley saloon, was built in 1951, while in October 1952 came Bentley 20-B – its John Blatchley-designed body closely resembling the fi nished article. It was similar mechanically, too, being built on a box section rather than a channel section chassis – but there was still a way to go. The next experimental Bentley was the 21-B of 1953 and this was followed by

Classic Car Mart January 201050 51Classic Car Mart January 2010

Road Test: 1960 Mk II Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

the 22-B, which was also the Rolls-Royce version. By April 1955, the Silver Could and S-series were ready to meet their public, albeit a slightly wealthy one. If it was the Rolls that you fancied, you’d be parting with £4796 while the S-series cost £4669 – £127 cheaper. Outwardly, both cars were very similar, with enthusiasts looking to the radiators and hub caps to tell them apart. At the time, the design was in keeping with Rolls-Royce’s restrained and understated image, which unfortunately meant that both cars left the factory

already looking like they belonged to a different decade.

But that did have its benefi ts – not only did it give the cars an air of grace and distinction, it also meant fi rst-class build quality. The body was made out of 20-gauge steel but, in a bid to save weight, the doors, bonnet and boot lid were aluminium.

Longer and lower than the outgoing R-type, the box section frame was 50 per cent stronger than its predecessor and featured a central cruciform. Coil and wishbone independent front suspension

was retained but the design used was a wholly new semi-trailing confi guration to increase wheel movement. Steering was by cam and roller. At the rear, traditional leaf springs were still used, with the addition of a Z-shaped anti-roll bar to reduce spring wind-up. The 15-inch disc wheels were an inch smaller than those fi tted to the R-type and the drum brakes were smaller but with wider linings. The familiar mechanical servo continued boosting the same front hydraulic and rear mechanical braking. �

SEE WHAT AN 02 CAN DO FOR YOUSolid, reliable and stylish – there’s a lot to recommend the BMW 2002, not least the price

�

Photos: Magic Car Pics(www.magiccarpics.co.uk)

I t’s fair to say that the BMW 02-series isn’t an everyday sight on Britain’s roads, which means that many enthusiasts overlook it when thinking about their next classic buy. And

that’s a shame because this is the car that put the German car maker on the map. This is a beautifully engineered small car that’s a revelation to drive compared to most of its contemporary British rivals. If there’s no substitute for quality, the 02-series should have the market sewn up: from the feel

of the switchgear to the durability of the mechanicals, the 02 offers a compelling classic proposition.

However, the car presents something of a paradox: it’s cheap for what it is, but more costly than many of its contemporaries, which is why it’s so frequently overlooked. Find a good one, though, and it will prove a rewarding classic companion for decades - whether you buy a lowly 1602 or one of the ultra-rare 2002 Turbo editions. Because this latter model is such a specialist and costly machine, we’re not

covering it here. You’ll need at least £25,000 to buy a good one, but for just a fraction of that money you could be enjoying 02 heaven.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FORBodyworkDespite a reputation for quality, these BMWs can rust very badly. Any unrestored car is likely to be crusty in places and even cars that have been under the knife may be lacy here and there. However, there are a lot of panels still available and they’re not necessarily costly,

Classic Car Mart January 201094 95Classic Car Mart January 2010

Buyer’s Guide: BMW 02 series (1966-1975)

despite being produced to very high standards.Start with the obvious places of sills,

wheelarches, door bottoms and valances. If these haven’t rusted, there’s a good chance the car is sound. But even if these areas are intact, it’s worth taking a look at the rear subframe mountings and the metal where the differential is attached to the bodyshell. Have a look at all the fl oorpans while you’re under there, especially the jacking points and the front and rear chassis rails.

The outer wings rust badly, especially around

the indicators and along their trailing edge. At least they bolt on - unlike the inner wings and front panel, which are also horribly rust-prone. There’s a crossmember below the radiator that rots from the inside out; if there are any signs of bubbling, it’ll need replacing. It’s the same for the box sections behind the headlights and indicators as well as inside the front wings.

One area that can get very costly to fi x is the bulkhead around the heater air box. The drains get blocked up here so check they’re free-fl owing by pouring some water into the vent at the top and

make sure it comes out from within the engine bay.Engine and transmissionStrong, durable engines have long been BMW’s forté and those in the 02-series are no exception. All 02-series models featured a single overhead-cam four-cylinder powerplant fed with either Solex carburettors (or Kugelfi scher mechanical fuel injection in the case of the 2002Tii). All these engines will go for much more than 100,000 miles if properly looked after, although from 75,000 miles the valve stem seals can harden,
