Probably broke down back in the mid 70’s Greg and no-one’s been able to get it going since

EVERBODY OUT!

Beer and Sandwiches with the bosses.

I rather liked the triumph TR6, my old headmaster used to take us in his TR6 to school cricket matches. That would be rather frowned upon these days.

My old man also had an Austin Cambridge when, if he ever managed to get it to 68mph, the whole care used to shake and vibrate uncontrollably as if it was going to fall apart, we used to think this was hilarious, my mum was less pleased.

My dad used to have the luxury Wolsey version of the Cambridge. 6/99, leather seats and all.

There was a Vanden Plas Allegro, my brother had one. Talk about polishing a turd.

Yes, leather bench seats with no belts, if you went around a tight bend, everyone ended up on the same side of the car.
