Little Moreton Hall, Congleton in Cheshire, 1975, the Clubbie looks almost toylike compared to the Rover P5B Saloon...

That's because one of them is small, & the other one is far away :)

Dave Wells car sales one of Bournemouth best, their speciality was inventive MOT's and they were not averse to selling multiple cars with the same registration numbers, you only found out when it was time to tax the vehicle and a visit from the Police soon followed. We had a Cortina 1600E in gold that also was a Corsair 2000E it turned out the 200E was the wrong un. Almost bought a Pre production Riley Elf from them no front wing seems 12 months MOT and no floor.
