I used to work around the corner from there. Pughs used to make and sell the best ever hot sausage rolls - long before anyone in the Midlands had heard of Greggs. It was a sad day when they closed in the mid 1980's.

I sold it a nice guy in Leamington in 2010, a big mistake on my part but there you go. Not seen or heard anything of it since, I've often wondered if he stashed it away somewhere or had it restored and cashed in on it. It was getting to the point where I would've had to make a decision to restore it or not, it was original throughout and those factory recliners were fantastic despite the stitching coming adrift in places. I knew I'd made a mistake the minute he drove away from my house in it...

Yep been there done that with my Radford.
I was just talking about this with a mate the other day how so many cars we used to see at events havent been seen since the 90s/Noughties and ironically how many restored cars nowadays seem to pop up from nowhere.
