I wonder what sort of speedo it had to be able to record 78763 miles- - certainly not an original Smiths PA!

Following that hyperlink triggered some memories.

I grew up in Sarf Lunnon quite close to St. Mildred's Garage. An MOT certificate from there for an A7 during during the 1970s would definitely count as a rare thing.

The owner/manager/MOT tester seemed to have a hatred of old cars in general and A7s in particular; if you wanted a sharp intake of breath and a professional slow shake of the head when he discovered a minute amount of play in a kingpin or wheel bearing then that was the place to go.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

The car is still listed on the DVLA system.

I am watching with interest as I have a number of old style MOT’s for my Ruby that were passed on when I bought the car. I may become a millionaire in the near future
