What with the fauly outy gear box.

My Uncle, Dave Barrowcliff,  wrestled a monkey winch onto the backseat of his two door a couple of times in the 70's when the works trucks were booked out! That must have been a struggle! The car came from Batchelor & Bowels in Loughborough - long since replaced by the Multi Storey!

Ford Escort xr3

Early Impreza Turbos.

I worked in a Vauxhall garage delivering new cars. Astra GTE was nice, not a patch on the XR3 though.

I'd love a go in a Lotus Carlton. Only ever seen a few in the flesh. What an animal of a car. 😍
