Also at G.C motors hiding in the corner. Not a Margrave (nearly was) but very rotten & interesting 77 Auto almost a sister car to my 77 W&P round nose. Had an early eighties visit to W&Ps Ruislip Workshop. One for the brave restorer.

Also these two minis poped up on eBay in Sevenoaks. One Clubman & GT. Not sure about the GT unless KUU really means what it suggests. The blue car is possibly another sad example of a stolen interior car.

Anyone got a picture of a Wood & Pickett wing mirror, or one they could photograph?
Think they are embossed on the top.

That's Jagger's car outside court where he was appearing.

I found the car pictured at the top pf the page in Stockport, the jury was still out whether it was W&P.
