Inevitably, Leon told him about the Seven, so I was commanded to collect him from work in it on Tuesday evening. The next hour was spent looking at both cars, going for test drives and generally being ‘anoraky’.
Leon took the photos and sent them to me on Messenger, so here are a couple taken the the carpark of the Telford Inn adjacent to the basin.
That 103E is a long way from Essex.
Given that they were built at Dagenham, I suppose that many of them were!

And, Yes Ivor, the Ford felt huge inside after the Seven. The big Lad in the photos (Leon’s boss Adam) couldn’t actually get behind the wheel of the Seven. He was just too tall.
