YOU’VE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD                                                                               

Ian Hyne looks back at the roots of the UK AC Cobra replica boom as well as the also-rans and no-hopers that helped shape the cars we enjoy today.

BRIGHTON BELLE                                                                                                          

Pil g r im’s Sumo has always carried the label of cheap as an inference of poor quality but today’s Granada-based car has nothing for which it needs to apologise.

LORDS OF THE RING                                                                                                        

The Oldtimer Grand Prix at Germany ’s Nurburgring is a wonderful event to attend but chuck in the trip a  GD 427 and a T70 and several laps round the historic and challenging, old 14 mile circuit and you have a weekend to remember.

8-LITRE ROAD -EATER                                                                                                   

It had too much power for the last bloke who bought it; he chopped it in for a Chevy-engined Marcos. So how much power is too much? Ian Hyne drives an 8-litre big-block RAM Cobra to find out.

TECH PRODUCTS                                                                                                             

Webcon Chevrolet carburettor conversion kits and polished alloy oil catch tanks are among the goodies unearthed in this month’s desirable and useful products line-up.

TECH TALK                                                                                                                

Rectifying speedometer calibration problems and sourcing shallow sumps for the Ford Zetec engine are among the problems addressed by Tech Ed Nigel Dean this month.

THE FORD DATING GAME                                                                                       

If you want to know how old it is for SVA (Single Vehicle Approval) purposes, there’s a bit more to it than you might imagine. Nigel Dean takes you through the formula for any Ford motor, be it crossflow, Zetec or 351 Windsor.

REFRESHING THE PARTS                                                                                   

Among names for your little black book of companies that supply top line widgets is that of Tifosi. Mark Sansby has a good ferret about in the parts lockers and comes up with a few gems.
