Oh really? :D

Mine is eight years older than I am - but has covered only 64.000 kilometres (how much is that in mls now!?) since new.
Its 40.000km inspection was done only a few days before my birth date and it's had only two owners before me. I partly restored it and use it on weekends!

Really great fun to drive - even though its performance reminds you on a wandering dune... B)smk

Best wishes,

Nick.

The Railton is a 1937 Stratton by Coachcraft (according to the bit in the brochure). The couple that own the Railton have a sizable fleet - I'm always envious when I bump into them.

The Singer is a 1948 9A Series - it was absolutely beautiful.

I've made it my goal to own a TR3a or TR4 before I'm 45 - retirement be damned!

I took my Drivers license in a Prinz in 1972 in Leighton Buzzard......(the second time -- the first time at 16 in the US was
in a Mercury Montego).

Leighton Buzzard - always was fascinated by that name! Not too far from Bedford right? I must say the Brits can really come up with some amazing names for places.
