Thank you for posting that fabulous video, Penman.
Not only a wonderful cross section of mainly British cars, but also a car show with the sun shining in Britain!
Thanks again
Keith

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

It will be terrible when we get to point when fuel is no longer available.

If it had been a 62 or earlier It would have been called a Caravelle in the UK.

Renault actually had a factory at Park Royal until 1960, making 4CVs and Dauphines.

I don't think it will come to that.
I am sure the FBHVC will ensure that there are exemptions for existing vehicles and if the big oil companies don't want to cater for a small market then smaller private oil companies like Perenco who run Wytch Farm in Purbeck, Dorset, will probably refine petrol. As you may be aware, it's not difficult to do.
What I think may be an issue will be distribution and price. I don't think people will be tempted to store petrol because as we know with ethanol added it has quite a limited shelf life but they might be tempted to make their own.  |

According to DVLA the registration is 1928 and the engine is 3909cc.
I wonder if it is an FB60 engine from a VP Princess R

I would say that is exactly what it is.
...but just how long can you run one of these without any coolant?
