Unfortunately and unknown to my dad, the so called mechanic who stripped and rebuilt the engine left off the cooling fan wires and it overheated and damaged the head.
Pity cos it wasnt a bad car.

Same as this minus the canvas sunroof but same colour.

My favourite pug by far

it was affectionately known as the Grimsby Trawler due to all the rust spots down the sides

I learnt in my Dad's early 1 litre Vauxhall Nova - it was quite new at the time and it cost him £12 to put me on the insurance - no risk of boy-racing cos it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
I later bought it off him, to be fair it was very reliable and dead cheap to run but not a great drive.
