Photo of 'Muvver' in brothers first car if you can call it that!! The other is one that my Father built from scratch, chassis, bodywork etc, even had silver rivets in the steering wheel and for the name plate, built for a client.

So who can identify the cars in the background??

A bubble car as we called them, the other one looks a bit an MG but I reckon I'm wrong

Bubble car correct TROJAN. The yellow one was called a Guy's Special, named after the son of the customer that commisioned it was a one off custom car so to speak. My father made this around 1958, it was featured in Classic Car mag a few years back and i believe it is still around inthe Brighton area.

The other cars are the ones in the background of the bubble car.....

Went to a vintage car rally tonight and you know the years are rolling by when your first car is on display. Not THE actual car obviously because my Yellow Vauxhall Hb Viva, before it expired had so many rust spots it looked like an over ripe banana!!

My first car was a white hb viva on a d plate, rear suspension went big time, second car was also a hb on an f plate...28yrs ago....wow..

Devonmark - reminds me of the 1976 Johnny Cash song 'One piece at a time'.
Is that how you got it out of Vauxhall?
