Hello to one and all...

Ring the bell and say "Hi" by telling us a little about you and your car. The PPC lock up always has someone in who'll get the door and welcome you in (it helps if you bring a box of jaffas)

Hello to one and all...

Hello there folks, I hope all is well in your motoring world...?!

Well I have a real soft spot for motors from the 1970's so I currently have these at my disposal...

1976 Triumph Toledo 1300 4-door
Image
This honestly tatty (but damn solid!) little buzz-bomb has been a really reliable car and it always cheers me up when I'm driving the perky old thing...!

1977 Ford Granada 3-litre Ghia 4-door
Image
I had always wanted a Mk1 Granada (yes, I am a fan of The Sweeney!) and when this one came along I really could not hold myself back... At the moment it is off the road impatiently waiting for a gearbox rebuild and some other general TLC essentials (mostly metal related :roll: ) but it should be back on the road in time for Spring (he says hopefully)...

Looks like the Triumph block numbers on here are climbing. I have a gearbox that'll fit that but sadly I dont have one that'll fit your granny! Is it easy to rebuild?

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
