So you can see, I was damn near reduced to tears........

Oh, and thanks for the welcome!

David, I am fairly sure the photos are pre-war, and would guess taken somewhere around Loughborough. It is a great personal delight to me to hear that the car still exists, and now that we have established contact hopefully we can learn something relevant from each other!

Tears can be good sometimes.
