Malcolm, thank you for your anecdote. I have just read it aloud to the boss and it has lifted the mood in the Wilks household several much needed notches!

So digging in the garden as suggested, couldn't find an Austin, but did manage a Standard.Just ripe for restoration.

Don't restore it; how about doing a Damien Hirst on it instead?

Good to see your photo of the AB tourer, Ruairidh, but you only had to dig inside a garage to find it!  And of course it does now have body beautiful.

What a wonderful photograph, though I would have had that hood down on such a glorious day.

And back on post our local garage has literally tons of Ford Model T spares and components buried under the forecourt and simply used as hardcore back in the day...
