No winter blues for this beauty

Steve Prior of the LTV VW Club says "Here's our 1971 California import Camper Van under a thick layer of the white stuff in January this year, coming from Sacremento she's only seen sunshine and desert for the last 39 years, but once the driver's door lock had thawed out she fired up first time despite the fact it was -8c outside. And, before you ask, no she doesn't have a pop top! " If you would like a beauty like this, you could start looking here and here and here

Beauty, but not a Star

The 16hp Durant was intended to be a rival to the Model T Ford and sold in the USA as a Star. However, when the car was introduced into Britain there already was a flourishing Star company so the interloper reverted to being badged a Durant. In 1959 this one owned by John McMurtrie of Balbithan Castle broke down outside the local Odeon and was towed back to the Castle and stored in a shed. Recently the nearby Grampian Transport Museum appealed for an unrestored car for a display they were planning. John McMurtrie heard about this and offered to give them the Durant which had been gathering dust and rubbish over the intervening 50 year period. The car is now on show in its unrestored state in the Grampian Transport Museum. Words by Michael E Ware, courtesy of The Lost & Found section of Classic & Sports Car Magazine

Beauty from West Sussex

'What a find!' says Steve Pennington after rescuing this Daimler SP250 (Dart) from 10 years of neglect. She's one of only 2640 built at Coventry between 1959 and 1964 with the original Edward Turner designed 2.5 litre V8 engine and gearbox - SP250s were the only Daimlers built with a fibreglass body
