I recall going to Twycross Zoo and seeing Johny Morris there - on another note my dad had one of the first Austin Princesses - it really turned heads (how sad) but like many Princesses it was recalled because the coil failed |

We had a Talbot Sunbeam, with a rusty wing, which we used tape to cover (funny my neighbour had one too, complete with taped wing). |
