SCAMPING ALONG

I was talking to Scamp Motor Company boss, Andrew MacLean this week and was pleased to hear that business in Scamp-land is very good at present with a book full of orders that are keeping Andrew busy.

The car pictured here is called Thunderchild 2 and has been built for a chap called Mark Nicholson to replace his aging championship-winning Autotest Scamp Mk2.

Andrew’s new design from Mark’s brief instructions. … nothing hanging out the back, adjustable height rear suspension for fully-forward mounted coil-overs, which are the same shape as the old Scamp Mk2 and lighter.

So here he is… Thunderchild 2 super More >

CLEAN INTERIOR

I’m a big fan of Essex-based car care specialists, Killer Brands and in particular, their Winners line up of polishes, waxes and much else besides.

I’m addicted to keeping my cars clean – and those of friends and family too, for that matter (when times allow!) – and a product that I’ve been having a lot of success with recently is Winners Satin Interior Detailer.

I particularly like the fact that it leaves a nice satin finish while doing what it says – cleaning your interior trim – and it doesn’t leave your car’s inside looking like that of a Bucharest taxi, More >

COOL A-SERIES GASKETS

If you are rebuilding or modifying a Mini (or other A Series) engine be aware that some, so-called, ‘genuine Rover gasket sets’ can be poor in quality or have incorrect parts.

The problem was so significant that Mini Spares decided to put together its own correct gasket set. The original Payen gaskets served as a template, but modern KLINGER super gasket material (as used on some parts of the MPI twin point injection engines) was used.

This dual-fit multi-piece selection of KLINGER upgraded engine block gaskets will fit any early or A-Plus engine. It is suitable for road or race and will More >
