A couple of pictures from yesterday's excellent show.

Within the last year an Israeli built Sabra has been successfully registered in the UK with an age related number plate. The car had been imported from Belgium about 30 years ago and left to languish in a garage. The car's chassis number was known but it otherwise had no paperwork and no evidence th...

The club will have a display of six excellent cars at this year's Whitstable Classic Motor Show tomorrow, Sunday 14th July.

Nice to have two such fabulous local events.

What a lovely collection of British vehicles.

Is 42ENX the favourite for September?

It still looks lovely.

Bromley Noggin are organising an RSSOC stand at the "Motor Sport at the Palace" event on this bank holiday Monday. See www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk for details of the event (note that we are not there on Sunday). If you're planning to visit the event come and say hello.

So far we have not declared our Sabres to be of "Historic Interest" at the time of renewing their tax. To be honest I have always forgotten to do so at those times. So we have just renewed the MoT for the Prototype (prior to it moving to new custodianship) and our Sabre Six convertible. The process ...

As part of the restoration of our Sabre Six GT I have been fabricating various steel brackets to replace rusted or missing originals. These include the rear wing to rear cross-member bracket and the bonnet hinge. These have to be bonded into the glassfibre bodywork. My question is: will the bonding ...

The Sabre Six and Sabre Four (and the Sabra) were fitted with the Lucas DR3 wiper motor. This was also original fitment to the Jaguar Mk1, no doubt amongst other cars of the day. I think the rotary switch was also fitted to the Jaguar Mk1. The attached description of operation and wiring diagram, pr...

Here is a very nice Sabre Six for sale in Germany - https://www.classic-trader.com/fr/voitu ... Newsletter. A well known car in the UK.

Is it the same as a Sabre Six heater valve? If so it's the same as for a Land Rover Series 3 and widely available - see here for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Heater-Water-Va ... 591&chn=ps.
