Oranj Jul 2020 4:15pm, 13 Jul 2020 2,117 posts	0 Oranj Just for ChrisHB: It's slowly rusting away in the car park of the Ferryman's Inn, Bablock Hythe (in fact you can see it on the satellite view of Google maps). My dad had one in this colour, although without the white top. He replaced it with a grey Super Minx sometime in the 1970s.
