Ah yes I remember that episode now - it should have come to mind immediately you mentioned it as I remember papping the very Jaaaag at a local steam rally a good few years ago.

Sounds feasible that....I binned my 70s MotorSports but the December 1969 edition carries a couple of ads near that price, including a runner XK140 with MoT and "recon engine" at £425..... A third of that bought an "immaculate" Triumph Mayflower too, not a ratio of value that wou...

I hadn't made the connection with that thing and the Mayflower myself but I do now see what you mean with that wing line towards the tail.....Really the Mayflower evokes the Freestone & Webb styling on Bentleys and R-Rs that was popular prewar. Like many coachbuilders, F&W never weathered th...

My Cowley runs the same kind of indicator system - original switch and speedo warning light, 2 relays and four added flashers so that all work in harmony with the trafficators (these have LED flashing "bulbs"). Just nowhere near as neat as those on the Mayflower! I might have upgraded them...

I will accept it is BMC crap but no MG. The modern Midget was foisted on the octagonal marque based on these.

Southampton to Amsterdam looks to be around £200 per person return.

Think it was £36.00 each way last time we went, from Southampton. I know it was a late flight too as we literally went straight to the airport from a rock and roll club night.

Just come back from a few days in Amsterdam. Never been and it's only a short flight, so thought why not. Very interesting place and I think we'll go back sometime to explore more. Mostly did the main shopping area and a gander through De Wallen. I think my wife was more intrigued than I was - even...
