Re: The Triumph Mayflower.

I was about 30 before I realised they weren’t 4 doors, and they were quite a common sight in the 60’s and 70’s.

Re: EBay Finds

A Tasmin was an eccentric choice in Corvette land!

Re: Forgotten cars

Iso Lele. IMG_2756.jpeg About forty years ago I met a bloke in a massive shed in the middle of Hereford who was selling an Ro80. In that shed in a cloud of cold-running autochoke-smoke was a yellow Iso Lele. It seemed to be hovering like a spaceship. There was at least one, maybe two, other Leles in...
