Bill Sheehan reminded me that over 20 years ago, one of our long-standing Club members - Doug Veel - often carried his Ulster on long-distance trips in a then-old Nissan Urvan. The van was a long wheelbase model with low roof. He installed the (Longbridge-built) Ulster in backwards, pushing the rear wheels up onto blocks to raise the tail height. The tail then fitted between the two bucket seats, so when driving Doug always had his Ulster for company!
Doug, one of the founding club members is still going strong and regaled us with tales of the early club events at our URRRS lunch last Wednesday.
Cheers, Tony.
