I quite like the late 30's Morris 12. A chap we always used to see at our local show had one. Very nice cars.


Yes all those larger pre-war Morrises struck me as being very usable.

I loved that MK3 Sunbeam Supreme. Jean's Uncle had one as his daily driver and he couldn't let it go even when the MOT condemned it. He also had an Austin Swallow like mine but it also needed rescuing.

I can't help wanting to call the "supreme" a "Sunbeam Talbot" but strictly speaking that would be incorrect.

This same car was sold in a previous Brightwells auction so its reappearance may just be a dealer hoping for a quick profit.?

I also liked what someone had done to the interior of the green MGC; it being nicely trimmed in leather and wood.

I have driven my friend's MGC and found the handling was let down by it being nose heavy... leading to some understeer.

Morning all, extra video today where Harley and I nip out to collect his first classic car purchase and drive it home.

Loving the Midget! I have fond memories of a similar car that I learned a great deal from.

Well done Harvey! Very Happy
