This is good, in two parts (not sure if the third will be posted later??)

thanks to George W for the tip-off, some good footage of old garages, and rooting around a scrapyard to find the remains of a bullnose Morris which the hero goes on to rebuild...

Hi Kaybee,

I think you're right. A bull nose Morris would have had downward curving dumb irons.

Wonderful to see it again!

First saw that film on the evening of Tuesday the 14th of September 1976 at a temporary Drive-in picture theatre at Peregian Beach, north of Brisbane. We were in our 1928 Model A Ford and in company with over 200 other veteran and vintage cars on the week long Queensland National Tour organised by the Sunshine Coast Antique Car Club.

No! My memory is not that good, I just happen to have been going over our notes about that trip. There was another week long rally in Cairns, just another 1,000 mile up the road, and we went on to that too. I am currently engaged in writing the story to go into my next book.

Golly! Roverdriver. Your rallies down under make our activities in the UK look positively pedestrian. Sounds like a great life and best of luck with your next book. Are any of the previous ones available in the UK?
