Trevor, my father-in-law is about your age, and was an auto sparky in the family business (C.E. Monty Whites) in Frankton, Hamilton. He learnt his trade from his father, who had worked at Lucas (in Coventry, iirc). He held 6-volt VWs in the greatest disdain.:o
Happy Birthday Trevor
Not sure about the Grandad's Axe description, I took this photo 51 years ago (November 1962) and most of the visible parts look the same, apart from different bonnet line to accomodate different motor. (more than I can say about myself!). Probably first ten years saw most of the changes.

The one car that I would have taken home, if I had been so lucky, was the Alfa Romeo 1750. It was parked outside the door to 'Hamptons' and I presume came from Southwards, as I saw their trailer in the park. This model, or similar, was the one that Nuvolari won the Mille Miglia with in 1930, beating his friend and rival Varzi also in an Alfa.
It sounded absolutely gorgeous when started up, with the supercharger wailing away.
I may have missed it, but I don't see it on here, and I am sure Nigel has a shot of it somewhere.
Your wish is my command..
