*TopTagora* *18*
Full description and driving
impressions of the newTalbot
Tagora, PSA's new flagship
model which goes on sale in
Britain in May. With three
engine sizes, including a diesel,
how does it line up aganst the
opposition?

*Frontal attack* *46*
Mazda's new front drive 323 has
been compared to the new Ford
Escort. Our full Autotest gives
the full detaijs of perforrnance,
economy; ride and handling -
plus our verdict on this
Japanese newcomer.

*Penny Pinching* *28*
What sort of car can you get for
under £3,000? We test six of the
hatchbacks and look in detail at
the equipment which is
standard and extra on a 28
model line-up.

*Secondhand dreams 55*
Many of us would like to run a
Lotus Elite or Eclat, but what are
the hazards and problems of
buying and running a
secondhand model?

*Diesel do Brazil* *23*
Fiat launch a new small diesel
car - the 147, an all-Brazilian
1.3-litre version of the 127 in
.hatchback and estate car forms.
It promises to be super
economical-but not yet for
Britain.

*Slippery eel* *64*
Talbot's new mid-engined
Murena is named after the
powerful, slippery Moray Eel.
We have been driving this new
sporting three-seater coupe
with the choice of 1.6 or 2.2 litre
engines.

*The half-litre club 61*
Who remembers the original
500 c.c, single-seater racing
cars, in which so many famous
names in motor racing first
entered the limelight? Graham
Robson recalls those days of
th04at$ 1940s and early 1950s.

*Stock cars, US style 70*
Re$cfrt on the vyorld's most
famous stock car race, the
DaytonaBOO, which like the rest
of the US motor scene has been
slightly downsized!

*Escort - again* *72*
The obsolete, rear-wheel drive
Escort RS continues to notch up
wins in major rallies. This time
it is Finn Pennti Airikkala'sturn,
in the Mintex.

What I Sell...
The things I sell are usually pretty old and all are pre-owned so don't expect shrink-wrapped wrapped perfection!
Mostly, the items are sourced from local house clearance auction sales who, due of the economics of running these auction houses, would have dumped them as unsold in land-fill if I hadn't bought the lot and sorted out the saleable from the absolute rubbish.

My other 'planet saving' contributions...
Apart from keeping nice stuff out of land-fill,
Another ploy is that, as I would otherwise have to make a 25 mile round trip to do my posting, I can save fuel (and infection risk) by having all my items collected by the Postie or the Hermes van driver as they are out here anyway and no additional fuel is used.

My delivery details...  
Postage is charged at cost (not 'hidden' as 'Free')
I always try to combine postage where possible - please ask before paying.
There are occasions where combined post is not possible due to the types of items (e.g. lead crystal and hammers don't travel well in the same box!).
Packing slips can be sent by email if requested, otherwise - no paper!

Enjoy my items - I enjoyed rescuing them and giving them the chance of a new home!
