talking about cars & snow (topical or what!)
heres a car from my past - this was my mothers everyday car in about 1984 - i can remember it been fast, making a fantastic sound and been blooming cold in the snow!
its a 1934 Bentley, with a 'le-mans' type body on it, the doors where simple bits of black vinyl press studded across the frames. could you imagine the cries of 'think of the children' if someone was using this to carry their kids around nowadays!!! it didnt have any side screens or a heater, what you see is what you got. my brothers cot would fit into the boot behind the rear seats
it was never garaged, would be left on the street and was used every day - we even went to aberdean in it (8 plus hours!)
ignore the 1964 'b reg, yet another example of the communist attitude of the dvla in those days towards old cars!
we all loved this old warrior, unfortunately in a fit of madness my dad px'd this against another classic car in the mid 1990's, my mother didnt speak to him for weeks!!!
of all the cars out family have had, this is the one that got away
i think its where my love of scruffy old classics came from
