I'm not sure but her daughter, Mme Arlette served us a very nice lunch. She was born in 1940 so I suspect that Mme Gondrée may no longer be with us.

On the A500 today, a TR7 convertible, TR6, 1930s Austin 12 (I think), three wartime Dodge trucks, Bedford OY army truck, and a scout car. In Belper a Series 1 Landy, plus another near Ashbourne.

There is a 1964 Hillman Minx in a scrapyard in Coatbridge. It runs and drives and is saveable. There is a later Minx in a yard in Gartcosh just outside Glasgow but it has been well stripped.

A 300SL gullwing just went by. I'd heard that one had arrived in the area, the silver one that also lived near here has gone to a new home apparently.

A brave soul in his Stag, roof up and defying the soggy weather, just went by.

I didn't know enough about them to ask that question, but looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Wraith makes me think it must be because it definitely has a crossflow head and is obviously not a Phantom.

The pre war Wraiths were far better than the previous models, which were rather old fashioned. The engine was smoother and more powerful and the independent front suspension was a huge improvement.

A good Phantom 3 is pretty amazing if you can afford the £500,000 or so it costs to restore them. It puts some people off. Wink

Hi
In Nelson today, I know this is a bit recent, but it is the first one I've seen.
They appear to have been home market only so this would be a grey import.
