One of my favourite Viz Top Tips was "Make your car look like a taxi (from a distance). Simply tape an old cereal packet to the roof."

Haven't got one, did have a W1 a long time ago, but for my money the W3 is the one - it's the rarest and that slightly different colour just sets it apart. Good luck with get-together!

I've been missing my old Williams recently and discovered it's ended up in Australia primped and fiddled with. (But still with the manky taped up brake line heatshield.)

You've got the Williams wheels, what about some Williams seats (they are so comfortable)? (Might clash a bit with body colour.)

We drove a 104GL over the Pyrenees for a family holiday in Spain in 1978. Really lusted after the 104ZS - one of my first brochures nicked from a showroom. I can't believe nobody has mentioned this or at least I haven't seen it:

I stalled at using Fancy Plates because I don't like a .co.uk site being in the Irish Republic. I went with Demon Plates, UK based, just emailed pics of licence and V5, came in 48 hours from order.

That's a lovely car. Incredible exhaust manifold heatshield condition!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with standard signs of age!!!!!!! Very nice car extremely jealous.

(I'm sure you've already done this, but) You can search Insurance Group less than three on Autotrader. My son managed to insure a 18 plate Ibiza for £550 first year insurance with no black box. The one with the strangled 3 cylinder engine which is actually quite fun, like a 107 is. He's...

Bought it for £2K, sold it for £7.5K. Lost £15K. Loved (very nearly) every minute in between.

It all depends what you want to do. I used to use Olympus OM film cameras, and then bought an EP3 camera (mirrorless, a little like the OM-D) in 2005 or so, which I use as a point and shoot on holiday with a wide angle lens that's tiny. But I kept all my old manual lenses and bought an adapter...
