I enjoy these trips through old photos, thanks Rick.

Did my front door knock at the wrong time? Or did you not get a photo of a Dellow in the rally section?

{As one example, a Dellow won the 1952 Daily Express Rally outright. The car concerned recently got an airing on the Dellow Facebook page too, it still exists! Another example, Dellows also won the Circuit of Ireland Rally 2 years in a row....]

Not an ideal concept for a rally car I admit. I wonder how the navigator managed to keep a hold on his maps?
Not bad for a 1172cc Ford sidevalve engine either?

Mmmm a Dellow made it into the vid before this one, I think, but alas not here - well spotted!! Smile

As mentioned in the Anglia thread, a vid uploaded today a) seeing the Anglia earn its keep and b) thoughts on whether I should use an older car in such a way.

Removing the top of the gearbox on the '30 Model AA enabled me to have a peer inside and also re-fill with the correct lubricant. I did a quick vid about it, and also talk about a couple of early Ford-branded tools that I'd like to find out more about.

............. I had same issue and my comment vanished too.

I guess H&SE would freak out at this summer occupation. Throttle set, just had to keep it in a straight line. Happy Days .

Neat photos! RoverDriver's comment on YT had dropped onto the "held for review" list for some reason!?!?!! I think it should appear there now Dane ...
