At the time I had this we were just starting to think about possibly saving up for a house maybe. You can tell I was keen

My brother had a Brooklands actually let me use it for a night his pride and joy I’m still waiting for him to ask the return favour My grandad used to have a MK1 in yellow with black vinyl roof used to love going out in it as a youngster. Great having hip grandparents.

Grandparents eh? My mum's Dad had a Bedford CA van, a MK.1 Cortina est. and an ancient Humber Hawk. On the other hand, my Dad's Dad had a bike, with a front carrier on which he carried wicker baskets of racing pigeons and poked his walking stick through, hooked onto the handlebars. (How the other half live!)

Another car I liked from youth was my friends grandads Zephyr used the bench seat with us boy two up front, nice style with the tail fins but not as flash as some yank mobiles.

My brother Steve had a Consul 375 Lowline in Maroon, front bench seat. Great car straight after an Angle Box (white with blue stripe). Had my first smoke on that front seat!!
