DUFFEMS Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Did tha ever use a pair o' womens tights as a fan belt to get thee 'ome! One of the first cars we had was an Austin A35 powder blue 880 BTC was the registration. Had a Ford Pop bought from Intake Motor auctions for £12, father-in-law also had one from Intake bought for £8 but, his had carrot indicators being an earlier model. Ours always had to be parked on a hill or the starting handle used! Edited September 18, 2016 by DUFFEMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
