Tbf, it's probably a 'summer car', garaged in the winter, so no need to MOT it until spring when show season starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ideal for a nice big socket if they ever made them electric. Back in 1970 my Dad used to have a 1966 Corsair 1600 V4 Delux (no wing mirrors) the average MPG was 16 to 18 and it once nearly made 20 on a trip to London. We loved that car and had it for many years. I even fitted a little MW/LW mono radio to it when I was only eleven years old. It didn't seem odd at the time that my Dad would just trust me to get on with fitting it on my own. I can't see many Dad's these days allowing their eleven year old son to start pulling the dashboard to bits and fitting a radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet you were allowed to play in the street too without adult supervision! LOL (I actually knew about the number plate hinge, think I may have seen it in a restoration show once) There's a vintage american car too where you use to swivel one of the rear fin taillights to reveal the petrol filler. You don't get that kind of thinking any more!聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing up mum bought a Simca secondhand, we spent ages at the petrol station the first time she filled it up trying to find the filler cap that was hidden behind the rear number plate 馃檮馃槂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also cleared the gutters on the Summerhouse and shed along with the lower guttering around the house along the garage and front porch.
