As a kid in Liverpool UK in the 60's dad had many cars, a neighbour had the 100E and it was tiny, we were pretty poor like most others and dad turned up one day with a 1952 I think Prefect Saloon, what a beauty that was, took all of us to Cornwall camping one year, Mum, Dad, Granny, one new baby girl and 4 boys under 12 yrs old, and we all fitted in, it was a magically slow drive, got to Somerset and the muffler blew up, it was like a bomb going off, he gave us boys a can of beans and said eat em, we did, he cut tin in and wired a patch over hole, and bought an exhaust bandage and off we went!
Made it too, and back to Liverpool, she was a mighty car, little side valve engine dident miss a beat! Cheers Billy |
