Peter1071, I really like your East African Safari plate! That is one rare little beast.

I have a few rally plates too Will take some pics this evening. I only really do "Service" Plates though.

That little bottle opener is absolutely awesome! I hope you give it a good workout regularly!

Ditto

I thought you'd like that one, I think it was a promo item produced by the foundry at Wellingborough.

It works a treat too

I have a couple of Tulip rally plates and a London rally plate from the 60s too. I think I've hit my limit as to what I can get away with hanging on the walls!

The East African Safari plate is the only one that wasn't a lucky cheap Ebay find. It was my dad's from the MG1100 in which he competed in 1964 as co driver.

I got a few bits an bobs , but not much car stuff A couple of stop lights 7inch our American friends will recognise them , enamal road sign and my old Griffin speedstar helmet , got plenty of other rubbish also , enamal signs , bus stop and plenty of jukebox items

Wow! What a great trophy! I said it was a rare one

Cave in desperate need of cleaning

I forgot. Every man should have a BMC tractor in his mancave

''Every man should have a man cave big enough to put a BMC tractor in!''

Crazy!!!

I never came across of so much BMC and Tuning Stuff like in those pictures!

I think there never was such a aftermarket here in Switzerland...

mini 129.....Nice collection you've got there.
I have the twin to your "Surf Champ" pinball machine

I forgot about this clock ,Bought at Jukebox show in St Charles , Chicago $120. i shown it to rich@minispares and he was telling me that the business park where minispares is used to be Monroe shock absorbers factory ! also got some cast iron signs 1930s !!! not everybody's taste , BUT it is American memorbillia

Today's job (photo is mid-tidy) - slinging the latest acquisition, a 1971 Moonraker Kayak, from the workbench / joist so that I can (just) get the moke in the garage as well as soon as Nicola Sturgeon lets me get it over from Kenny's
Also in the background are the frames of the 1961 Fastakart 77 Class I kart (for sale, if anyone's tempted ), and on the wall the frame of the 1965 Erco G-Type that apparently won the '65 UK Class IV championship. It's Villiers engine is in the box under the bench.

The other kayak is in the other garage along with the Van and the VEPS prototype.
