    Default Another Antique Roadster

    Sally's antique roadster reminded me of this, the old bullnosed Morris circa 1920 1930s It was used by our local sweep Jimmie Barber round about the 1930s to carry his tools of the trade, my then boss eventually bought it from him for 30 shillings 150p in today's money about 8$ then the dollar was only worth 5 dollars to the British Pound. He scrapped it and used the wheels and axles to make 2 trailers.

    Very nice Norman. I like the added touch of the sweep and his tools.

    Compliance is futile. Resistance is futile. Just do your own thing an' ignore 'em.

    They are all blue - just the rear wheel is covered in soot

    You should add a Dalmation with no spots so it explains where the spots on the vehicle came from. Whether looks cold.
