Oh Yes .I've owned her for about 5 years.Took me 6 months hard graft to get it through the MOT and its been work in progress since.
Mechanically sound, interior done (almost) new hood but still paintwork and a 1001 other minor points to do. I enjoy driving it more than polishing it so it will never win any prizes!

Welcome to the site Jono

I think we have met at the Lodge with CrowSP,
(A world wide travelled little mascot of an ex forces club, and has sat in the BBMF aircraft and flown in all the BBMF aircraft, with certificates, bar the Lancaster as it was down with engine overhaul)
When I can find it will post the photo of him sitting on the car.

Hi Colin,

Never spotted this thread before now. I'm almost certain I know where that picture was taken, and if I'm right, you work at my old school (which I left in 2009). Am I correct? I remember seeing the Dart in primer in the garage.

I had a blue Austin A35 at the time if you remember it.
