A collection of historic cars from various English speaking parts of the world. We like to drive these vehicles and of course they need regular repairs too. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, but also kayaks and sewing machines.
Read about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines, visit the Rusty daytrips weblog (below) where you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis.

Yes, Somebody actually asked AI to render an orange MGB snowglobe!
Singer 27 sewing machine 1910
A little rough around the edges, but with a little oil and patience this 191O Singer 27 sewing machine turns smoothly without obvious signs of wear. Amazing after 115 years!
Mini Van rotor and cap
This rotor and cap did not look very good. Time to change to a new set. Leads and plugs still good.
MGB GT Rusty valance removal
This is actually quite an easy fix. The valance is bolted to the car. The front wings have already been replaced with glassfibre ones. The only recalcitrant bits are some rusty bolts holding the Bumper and valance in place.
