Alec Issigonis as a young man in his modified 1932 Austin Seven Ulster.
(He gave this photo to Suzanne Johns as a present, after she became his secretary at BMC/BL from 1966).

Re: Just a nice period picture
I think it was a favourite haunt of the motor trade and journos in the past. Something in my memory was sparked and it made me think of George Bishops column Carte Blanche, that I used to read in CAR magazine in the 1980s. I seem to remember that he mentioned The Barley Mow now and again.
