I suppose this time was before Walker Wood in Baildon

A GT6 – equally short-lived!

bought at Batley car auctions .

Commer Highwayman.

Commer Highwayman used as everyday transport and a couple of holidays including one in Scotland.

Sold to a guy called ‘Tex’ for £500 but he wanted it with everything left in! I did manage to get Chris out!

The Austin 2200 I bought to tow the’ heavy’ caravan. I know it doesn’t look heavy but it was quite old and before they made them in lighter materials. When towing the car did 10mpg! I also towed it with the Renault16 either before or after.

Renault 16TL written off while we were in it on a roundabout in Bradford.

There were three of us in the car at the time. Emily was only months old.

Not put off, I bought the Renault 16TS as a write-off for £70 following an engine bay fire. Fished the plastic parts of the air filter out of the carb. had the bonnet resprayed and it was back on the road days later.

MGBGT

I remember putting new sills and castle sections on both sides in the drive at Oxford Drive. I replaced the engine as well and the chap who bought it off me tried to offer me less as it was a Marina 1800 engine I had fitted.

I bet I was popular!

Hillman Imp.

This too was passed on to Steve. Excellent in snow as I recall.

An excellent Maxi 1500 followed by a Maxi 1750 HL which had oil leaks as I remember. It didn’t last long!

In Walker Wood now, finishing the first Midge , I was driving a Mini and Chris had the Renault 12 estate.
