Photos? Nope, some poor bastard has spend a day getting the shading on a plug socket exaaactly right... The 'exploded diagrams' are masterpieces, though

Useless low wattage headlights. Last item, too late for inclusion in the main catalogue, was a seatbelt. I can vaguely remember my dad fitting seatbelts in one of our cars, might have been rear seats.

queenie: Hiya fellas and fellettes. My name is Gary, I am 72, live in rural Victoria (Australia), am an unashamed Anglophile and own a gold 1998 NB. I bought her in 2016, reflecting at the time that I had wanted a car like this since age 15. Yep, took me 50 years! Dec 31, 2023 5:58:34 GMT

Simon: Nice and quiet in here, but I'm back with vengance! Car with a knackered crank is now having a full rust and engine resto at Basset Down! Will be spenny, but excited to have a 'good' car again. Jul 2, 2024 16:29:20 GMT
