I worked with a Aussie back in the 80's he use to kid me about the 10 pound tourists to Australia He also said the term POME stood for "Prisoner of Mother England" Now having said that I have come across and meet so many English abroad it's a wonder there are still people living on that...

Of course there is a museum there is always someone looking for the "then" it never surprise's me the number of folks that want to hold collect steward our history and the range of things people will collect and display. The trade bike takes you back to your to your youth and brings back long...

I would much rather see the old trade bike painted like the Co-op, Mason's or Dewhust's I understand what's gone on and why. As someone who was a museum curator I was always looking to present exhibits in a true light I would have loved to see the bike in a real world condition, right after...

Lovely treatment, the two girls look great in matching color. The plants on the building add some needed color to the front, look at the now pic The building has stood the test of time looks good. Look at the store in the lower left in the recent pic, something's are meant to be I guess.

That would be the replacement of the "heel board" a all to common problem on 1100 and 1300 style car and a real miserable job

Well let's give it the bus treatment Jaguar XJ6C built from 1975 to 1977 some say 1974 was the start date The car was built in the Jaguar factory located at Browns Lane Coventry The car also came in a V12 version that had fuel injection by Lucas but a lot of those parts were in fact Bosch...

L/h drive ?, That driving position looks like a long way out there, and so much behind the rear axle. Who is the manufacturer ? And is it to be a bus ?

My good Lord how far a chassis has traveled (pun unintended) from it's early days the leap from the Wolseley to a Daimler.

A muse on the fuel thing did they use that gauge or did the tank just get topped off Then was a mileage calculation done for fuel consumption and a audit for miles traveled each day. How many glass's or tiger tails did the BCT get each week ? Ha Ha
