The Peter Simpson COLUMN

“They don’t make them like they used to” is an oft-quoted phrase, but is that really a bad thing?

As I’ve mentioned before in this column I’m currently undertaking a couple of classic car restoration projects, both of which are being featured in other Kelsey Media magazines. In fact, my 1955 MG Magnette’s appearances in MG Enthusiast started with the October issue. The other project, a 1965 Morris Minor Traveller is, I’m told, going to be running in Classics World magazine – formerly known as Classics Monthly – starting early next year.
