What a wonderful log of those two cars Col. Kurtz, felt like I was in them myself.
Have been in possession of many cars in my life, due to the fact that my former husband and his father had a small garage in Clayton. They would do a car up and we would use it for a while, before they decided to sell on and use another.
The first I was given was from my then mother in law..she passed her test and never drove again. Think would be 1965/66 .. a love pale blue Morris Minor .. ace.
The one I have the fondest memories of was a Sunbeam Alpine, again 'coach painted' in a pale blue .. with lift off top .. had to leave behind in the house if I wished to go alfresco .. so had to watch the weather

About the only registration number I can remember .. LEC 55 as was easy. (trouble is everyone else could remember it too .. including our local police LOL). Heard about it a few years back and an acquintance of my daughters had it .. but now sprayed Red.
Would have kept it, but only small seat at the back and daughter insisted on getting bigger.
