That looks great, how about this, you can't drive that road today but I'm sure you will recognize it

Note the strategically placed lump of rock under the Morris's front tyre...

The headlights on the wings are non original!

Quite right reckless

Sackcloth and ashes time from the Morris Department. I'm reliably informed the car is dated 1920/21 and by that time would have had a Morris built engine ( although cribbed from Hotchkiss ) Additionally, the light positioning is correct. I think I'd better stick to Austins!

You can’t be right all the time Chris! I was quite happy to believe it was a very early car due to the diamond tufted upholstery, but you live and learn…
