Hello all. I cant believe it`s been nearly a year since I went down to Wiltshire to see/fall in love with/buy/bring back Bertie Sunday september 27th was the day I first clapped eyes on this
When I first saw him on a classic car site I genuinely thought he had no front windows , and was actually keeping an eye on the weather forecast ! But of course all was well and the entire story of his new home coming and all work to date is on this great site. He has come a long way in a year....
I made enquiries today to reinsure him, and again the best was First Quote (via Go Compare, dont laugh! It`s saved me an absolute fortune on Bertie and my other car ) who quoted £71.60 for the year fully comp/breakdown/windscreen/courtesy car etc. which of course I snapped up! On a different note, my other half ( Angie baby) has scoured the dreaded Ebay for a model Ford Pop. This has proved extraordinarily difficult! Pops were dominant in the 50s/60s and virtually every street had one, but try and get a decent Corgi/Dinky replica....nope. Cortina,Zephyr,Anglia,Consul...no problem! But finally this cropped up....
Perfect! A grand total of £3.72 inc p and p. The colour is correct, although I will have to steady my hand and paint in the vinyl roof! I am in the process of winding all and sundry up on Facebook (sorry, I`m an addict!) by stating that within the week there will be TWO Berties in the family! Ok, thats enough of this rubbish! Thanks for reading and staying awake, catch you all soon.... |
