Seen at Caffeine Classics today, this repowered MGB with a home built, wooden tonneau. Beautifully done too.

More sundries

Goodwood FoS 2004

Was the plug gap really supposed to be 25 thou? I thought it was .25"




"Oi, Dad. Why can't I have a steering wheel?"

Still on sundries

Dad made this model and I presented it to Duncan Ricketts at Goodwood, 2018.

Sir Alfred Owen and Alec Rivers-Fletcher when the BRM was displayed at the new GEM superstore (now ASDA) early 1963, West Bridgford, Nottingham.

Ray, excuse my intrusion but you once again revived a memory for me of our slow, family drives in the Hyndman Standard Vanguard.
It was a 1951 Standard Vanguard Phase 1 saloon. With a 2 litre engine the same as a Ferguson tractor. 0 to 60 in a really quick 21.5 seconds !
Our car was black and on a hot day and dad smoking I was always car sick, especially on the gravel roads to Waihi Beach through the Karangahake Gorge.



Arriving at Felix St in Te Papapa, Auckland after the drive from Kiwitahi. The young chap has to be the centre of attention !


Driving on gravel roads is evident by the crud covering up those big shiny hub caps !

Across the road from my parent's house, lived the owners of the local fish and chip shop. (Real chips, from fresh potatoes, fried in lard... oh and the best haddock anywhere.) Their son had a Standard Vanguard and even after all these years, I can still remember the registration - MRR 656.

He held on to that for some years and when the Austin/Morris 1100 was released, traded it in. It was hilarious, as initially, he was all over the road, having graduated from the sloppy steering of the Vanguard to the very direct rack and pinion of the 1100.

JT's Triumph, recently sold, so hopefully it will be out on track again soon.


My favourite sports car as a kid was the TR3, yet I have never owned a Triumph. I do remember being taken for a blast in a hot TR2, reaching 90mph back in about 1964. Arthur's TR3 has been around and run for a fair while.
