Hi all

Not been here for a while, so apologies for that :oops:
Think it must be a good couple of years!

I wonder if any of you saw my car on 'for the love of cars', mine was the white cooper he drove on the snake pass.
Anyway I have a question, I havea an Austin mk 1 wavey grille, but it is made of aluminium and is very light. Which model is it off and why did they make it in ally?

All the best John.

the wavey Austin was always made from alloy

its because they where a lesser car than the superior morris model, so the stuff they made them from was cheaper.............

I'm not sure Rich's barnet could be described even loosely as a 'haircut'! :lol:

Not so much a "Hair Do"

More of a "Hair Don't".
