Trade-A-Plane equivalent for cars, emphasis on classics/collectibles.

Some things to keep in mind if you buy a British road oiler:

Why do the British drink warm beer?
Because they have Lucas refrigerators.

Why didn't the Germans bomb the Lucas factory in WWII?
They considered it to be allied territory.

How to interpret oil puddles under a British car:

Platter size - time for new seals and gaskets all around.
Saucer size - everything is normal.
no puddle - you are out of oil.

What is the one statement that is ALWAYS true about dual SU carbs?
They are out of sync.
