Life's moved on.......

[CRAIGR]

Top quality vehicles like Moskvich, Fso and Polska fiats .

[Crunchie Gears]

Invalid carriages, those silly looking light blue things with only one door
and Reliant Robins !

I had a contract with social services to look after 70 of the blue things. They were brilliant as you could modify them for assorted of disabilities! Shame someone has not designed cars that can be driven by people disabled by thalidomide for example. Graham Hill put the death Nell on these.

They also gave me the original AC badges for my AC Cobra replica

Column gear change, parking lights, umbrella handbrake leavers ,engine paraffin heaters and blankets to keep it warm in winter, drum brakes. chrome centre/hub wheel caps, dynamo

When BAe Dunsfold closed in 2000, someone pointed out that there was a large underground tank of full-fat leaded four star, they couldn't leave it there as it was a "hazardous material", they couldn't sell it, because it had been outlawed, so much to the site managers irritation they had little option but to give it away to those of us who's cars would run on it - & yes, the crossflow Rickman did go noticeably better.
