Well, I sold my 1910 Roller a few years ago,and was going off that,I also tell whopping great lies!
Went on a car rally some years ago,we were taken in such a car.
Well, there was no driver’s side door,just the passenger side,as the driver’s wife had mobility difficulties but was navigating,she got in first,he made sure her door was properly closed then had to climb into his seat via the back ones.
We in the back seat were thrown about dreadfully,the back seat was quite high and as it was a lovely sunny day “we will have the top down”.
Oh my lors,we were wind blown,freezing cold in the stiff breeze and felt idiots as we passed pubs Churches etc as people were leaving,they expected us to wave ,
like H.M.
The car had been all done up in Australia,there had been another at the same time and believe it or not the engines had been swapped by mistake thus lowering the value of each car enormously.
The owner was going to have it shipped back so all could be as it ought to have been.
The driver was just a member of the club and very kindly offered to give us
“The ride of a lifetime”,we were visiting family who also were in the club.
It was most kind ,I know but not a pleasant experience.
I felt and so did my OH really daft,so high on the back seat being shaken about.The suspension was awful,don”t know the exact model.
We were driving a Golf,and oh what luxury to get back into that modest though it was .
That really is a lovely piece of art,and you have others.
Are you displaying them?
Cheerio.Viktoria.
