Do you have tiles in your area?
When I re-roofed my Grandma's house (whos not far from you) we used a special kind of shaped, solid profile underlay, which works similarly to the breathable membrane shown in the pic. As in it'll direct any slight moisture that gets past the tiles/slates down the roof. It was shaped in the exact shape of the tiles, so made relaying them very easy.
Oi oi!Taste in trim levelsjust saying I wouldn't pay money to have pensioner spec myself
Wot's all this "pensioner spec?"
Walnut, leather and Wilton are TIMELESS!
Good for you!
But please, pretty please, sugar on the top.......
Beer and milk come in crates....wine comes in cases!
I'm sure you wouldn't smoke a cigar with the band on now would you?

Some peeps seem to be able to do loads of miles in them with no problems.
As I said earlier our neighbour here will be rebuilding one that will then allegedly be bullet proof, with the help/advice of this guru guy who races with those engines.
In the meantime it appears that frequent oil changes with the right oil make a good difference.
Well whata coincidence!I've got a bottle in the cupboard, 1981 Charles n Diana Wedding Celebration Ale. Unopened. Now that IS out of date
When my ex and I were driving back home from our wedding in France we happened to stop in a pub.
The car (Mk1 Cortina) was outside decorated with the ribbon etc as we were on honeymoon.
A brewery rep was in the bar and said to the landlord, "Who are the newly married couple?" so he pointed at us.
He came over and gave us two botts of the same stuff as you have!
Because this was in early July '81, C and D got married not long after us. (Both bots sadly got drunk not long after, maybe even while we were watching their wedding!
Maybe but to me calling something "honking" is somewhat insulting. Sure we all have preferences, I have very strong ones! But I'd never insult someone elses car.
Unlike the wife of a French bloke who came over on exchange and with whom I had stayed, who, on seeing my Marlin turned her nose up and said "C'est une voiture de drageur!" Sort of meaning a cad's car, or one to pull burds in. Her husband meanwhile loved it to bits!
They divorced eventually. Her nose was in the air a lot!
(And have to admit, the wimmins did and do like it!)
I'm obviously too antiquated to see leather, walnut and Wilton that way.
I see it associated with tweed sports jackets, a pipe, (not being smoked while driving), cords or cavalry twill trews, brogues and impeccable manners.
I belong to prewar times I think!
As someone once said "If you have to ask the fuel consumption, you can't afford it!"V8..

I can't agree about the staining, worn lots of jeans on leather as have other of our friends and relatives, never stained it, you just have to look after it, if the leather was a problem we'd have got rid of it or put seat covers on it. and this is including 6 grandchildren being in it. But as you say, I suppose darker coloured leather is a bit easier to maintain.
The engine is another issue and not the aesthetics that we are discussing, although I will not disagree with you on that.
As for the "looks dirty through tinted glass" TBH I have never thought about it, but it wouldn't put me off, having a car with tinted glass on the other hand would!
I have had cars with such slightly tinted glass that I didn't notice it until I wound a window half down and noticed the sky was a slightly different colour. But "privacy glass" no thanks.
As I said I am just too old for all this! Which is why the kits I build look like 30s roadsters!
It might have a deposit like Worthingtons. White Shield. Do they still make it I wonder? Was a nice drop!Looking at it it's not cloudy no sell buy date think it was made be for that was introduced
It'll prolly taste OK but might have lost its gas.
