Pictures of old or rare vehicles

Nice. looks like my old 1960's Willys Jeep ? Do you have the four cylinder, or were lucky to get the V-6 engine in it ?

straight 6 i do believe 4.2 but dont quote me

I think that is correct it is the same engine with a bit more power and an alloy head, a friend used the Mayflower engine in his dads standard 10 to get more power.

Most of the post WW2 Standard engines had alloy heads (I have a 1948 Standard 12 bitsa). They were a pain being prone to corroding solid to the studs and also rotting away in the water passages. Mine has about half a pack of ally tig rods in it.

This A35 is owned by a friend it came to our little car meet last year, it is original and low milage with a webasto roof .View attachment 379727View attachment 379728

I ran a 1956 A35 as my daily for a few years (wife had the modern car) and even took it over to France several times for 1600 mile trips. Really miss that little car and regret selling for no reason other than had too many other vehicles.
This is the day I collected the car - bought sight unseen from over 300 miles away.

I have a mental picture of you wearing a fedora and carrying a violin case.

Oh you had to go and do that didn't you!

My Mk1 Mex, pictured shortly before I sold it in a fit of temper after the wife complained 'there's no room in the boot'.

She still hasn't been forgiven, and she knows it!

I scrapped my Mk1 Mexico and swapped all the mechanicals into a mk2 shell...... if only I had known!

Difficult to 'Like' that! But oh yes, hindsight is most definitely 20/20!

 

[RWD3M]

Whilst scanning my old car pics to find the one of my Mex, I stumbled upon this one of me and my rental (the car not the plane, the plane I got for free!).

Hope it's not too gratuitous to post

Oh and one more, then I promise I'll stop!

This car, photographed in the late 90's if memory serves, had a genuine 44 miles on the clock.

It is and it had the worst scuttle shake ever!!!

This was probably around 1998/99.

A few from what was Grosvenor Carriage which I believe was bought out by Shaw & Kilburn thats probably how I came by them

Beat this for rarity, built by my BiL, you can almost hear the banjos:

“built” somehow doesn’t seem the right word?
