I travelled a lot in a Singer Le Mans before I was born(!)-or so I've been told. I've also seen the photographs.
I think I also spent a lot of time participating in the pushing of it - thanks to the reliability of 40s British electrics!
I've been lucky enough to get Peter (S-T), to do me some wheels for the Morgan and for the BSA - just waiting for them to arrive.
I think the attraction of pre-war cars is that they are all individual, and accessible to someone who has a basic understanding of how a car works - not like modern cars with "no user serviceable parts" under the bonnet(hood).
Peter thanks for the kind remarks about the Morgan - coming from you it is praise indeed! I got some silicone and resin at the weekend. I'm just working up the courage to try it out. I think I'll have a trial run with an old Scalextric Mini first.It would be more than I could stand if I messed up and covered the Morgan body in a lot of slimy gunge that wouldn't set!
David.
