My first three vehicles were a Morris 1000 van, a Viva van and a Simca van, ( anyone remember, or heard of, them ? ), all used for lamping in the late 60's, early 70's.

Car Spotlight, lead acid battery, Barbour jacket with rotted pockets, those were the days, eh ?

Cheers.

It's not a noise they're use to ... it's another topic you don't know about so just sit and learn

Simca also did a version of the van called the Matra Simca, it looked like a small discovery, but I allways liked a van.

An old lad I knew back then, Billy Chanter , had one of those Russian motorbikes and sidecar, reverse gear, two wheel drive. Used to take his dogs everywhere in it

Cheers.

A mate of mine who died in an accident in the Gibraltar shipyard, used to leave his Capri SR 3.1 with me when he was away.

Dont know whatever happened to the car, but one sold for £75,000 last week !!!!
