In a bid to make my garage look as olde-worlde as possible, I'm interested in any old tins, oil pourers, 2 gallon petrol cans, signs, petrol cans, cardboard boxes or whatever that might have once been found in a country garage. Pls drop me a line if you have anything going spare!! I wouldn't mind finding a reasonably priced petrol pump too.

You can get me either via the main site, here at the forum, or at the email address below.

It's a modern reproduction and fairly widely available - a quick look on the internet shows the cheapest one at £13.99, so a tenner? Never used, it just sat on my shelf in my flat after buying it at Brooklands so in mint condition. It's a two pint can, so should be good to go for using for it's intended use

Hi

I doubt it, but will keep an eye out, more signs, tins, bottles, old workshop tools, pumps, petrol cans, oil cans, and the like!

Cheers

Dave

I have recently taken delivery of two different reproduction vitreous enamel garage signs. The first is 'Castrol XL as recommended for your Austin', and the other is 'Fit & Forget' KLG Spark plugs to your Austin. I have only had 15 of each made, and they are manufactured to a very high standard.
The cost works out at £85.00 each plus £7.50 P&P (UK). I also have a few remaining garage-wall thermometers - also vitreous enamel. one features the 'Motor for the Million' - Austin 7 Chummy, and the other the Austin 12/4 'Clifton' tourer. These work out at £75.00 each plus £4.50 P&P (UK). for further information and pictures. please e-mail me on: james.stringer@sky.com
Cheers. Jim.
