    A hand painted Reliant Fox, noisy cows and a random sock, plus a potted history of Reliant cars. What a wonderful way to spend 20 odd minutes! Hubnut should be prescribed on the NHS as a cure for the daily grind! Keep up the great work Ian.

    Foxanne is one of the most iconic vehicles of the channel. It would be a sad day to see it sold, as Rachel risked a prolapse putting the engine
    in, and the Professor was smiled on by the gods when he avoided setting fire to an open can of petrol, with his sparks. The Professor was
    slightly overdressed for this one, as I was hoping to see the famous HubNut jumper, which is as distressed and patinated as his collection
    of vehicles. Glad to see the workshop getting as artfully strewn as Tracey Emin's bed.

    Bit of trivia for you, the reliant fox was actually a stop gap originally, reliant wanted a vehicle quick to build to keep the factory workers busy until the reliant SS1 sports car was ready for production
    its one of the reasons why most foxes were built in 1983/84 but after that very few were made as they didn't have their own dedicated production line

    Didn't warm to FoxAnn at the beginning but as I watched the story I became more enthusiastic. I hope that Rachel received a very large box of Chocs or big bottle of something for hauling the engine about. I was really hooked during the roadtrip with the Engine Temp Anxiety. Paint and Sign Writing are both Iconic now. She must be preserved.

    I've always had a soft spot of Foxanne due to it's Greek heritage, a trip to Greece would be an amazing road trip.
    There was this short time in history when there were a lot of this type of vehicles produced in Greece, due to some law that classified them as commercial vehicles. There was also the NAMCO Pony (with a 2CV and very late ones with Ford) , the MAVA Farma and Farma Σ (Renault) and the Automeccanica Zebra (Daihatsu)

    Foxanne is the essence of Hubnut. The list of jobs and non working gauges seems never ending. Choke, idle, manifold, fuel tank etc, yet you still delight in it's turning circle and peppy engine. The list of reasons to keep her is a lot shorter than the reasons to get rid yet something just won't let you let her go. It is totally 'branded' Hubnut with its hand painted sign and emulsion paint job. I really never thought I'd be saying "no don't do it" about the potential sale of Foxanne. Great retrospective video.

    That is a useful, cool little truck. Definitely take care of the exhaust first. On va carbureted cars they use to have a valve on the exhaust manifold to heat up the carb a little until the engine warmed up to keep it from icing up. It was a flapper valve controlled by a spring that with a cold engine it would direct exhaust gas to the base to warm it up and as the engine heated it would direct the exhaust gas away. Otherwise you have to wait for the engine to warm up to keep the carb from icing. Small lecture in case you didn't know from an old car but. Get better and get to fiddling with the cars.👍👍👍

    Great more Roxanne love that car. Contemporary advice about Heralds and Spitfires was the tight turning circle can wear clutches out if used to take off. ie get moving before using full lock. Apparently the extreme lock causes that much tyre scrub it can overheat the clutch when slipping at take off.

    Foxanne is an interesting little vehicle. I didn’t realise they’d started life in Greece. Always had a soft spot for Reliant. You have to love the small underdog trying to fight the giants. A couple of miles down the road from us there’s a house that has two Robins parked outside. It’s funny, as they are absolutely identical, both dark metallic blue, same model, same year I think. The joke going round was he had one for best! Maybe a little unfair. Perhaps it’s ‘his and hers’. I’m sure that’s an interesting story too. Been there for years, so clearly someone else that loves their Reliants. Get well soon Ian.

    I owned a GSA and loved it, but it was replaced by a BX as a daily driver. I recall that the Hubnut GSA was bought for a GS/GSA anniversary. It has been replaced as a family car by the Rover, so it is time to find a new owner for the GSA who can enjoy and care for her. That will enable the Hubnut mission to continue, finding older ordinary cars, driving them and moving on to the next. 😎

    Great video - the 'talk' ones sit great alongside the 'do' ones. Learnt a lot about Reliant that I didn't know.

    Thank you for sharing the story Ian, and for the fleet update. I just realised it’s a whole year since you began making preparations to travel to AUS/NZ. Scary.
