What more could you want, a J type, period cars and a steam engine. |
OYC997 waiting in the High Street. |
The latest TV advert for Ancestry.co.uk features this J type, you have to be quick to spot it, only on screen for 3 seconds. |

Since I owned it the speedo panel and steering wheel have been changed for earlier items. The driver seat I recovered badly. |
Sporting a cut down Foden front bumper, the front wings I repaired still look good. |
The tow bar has been added and apart from the front wings the body was Cream and the strange Brown that I had to have mixed to match the HOVIS colour. |
Nice Art deco, I spent many many hours cleaning it all as it was all brown from the cigarettes. |
I replaced some of the side windows, these were very heavy but each passenger had a handle and could wind the windows up and down, they worked very well. |
Driving up the M4 motorway to London, traffic rather light. |
Earls Court, roadworks and we moved forward about two vehicles at a time with each changing of the traffic lights. |
A posh London restaurant on the corner of the Kings Road, at least something nice in the window. |
Battersea Power station can just be seen over the distant trees. Yes more heavy traffic. |
A full lunch was provided as a thank you for bring the van to the restoration workshop. |
Is that the MI5 building I spy ahead? |
Over Vauxhall bridge on my way home, more heavy traffic as one day cricket at the Kennington Oval. |
