Thanks to George who sent over this pair of great photos.

Firstly, a 1933 Essex in very original order:


And secondly, a neat little Guildford from 1931:

If I were asked to choose one or the other for £1000 I would agonise over the decision..... I think maybe the Guildford would win.... or maybe the Essex.... there's only the wife and me so the Guildford would be almost big enough..... but we could invite friends over if we had the Essex.... the lantern roof and lead light windows on the Guildford are appealing, eh? .
Geeeee, do I have to make a decision today Question Confused

Better get inside photos of both Rick.
