Interesting that the cars previous owner to Mr Whyman, a Richard Trafford Shipman was based in London whereas Stocksfield is just west of Newcastle upon Tyne some 300 mile north of London.

Jeff.

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that either Whyman was a student in London, or Shipman a student in Newcastle.

Richard Shipman is who sold me the car - he turned 80 last July and is a retired physician. He tells me he found the car lying upsidedown in a field - therefore the windshield is shorter than normal (it came form another car)
I should have listened better but, he may have done his residency in London.
