that's a rare sight

The car is also a nice example,when you could recognize a car instantly by it's shape.Them were the days

Sunshine, well when my dad had a Humber Sceptre the sun always shone.

A farmer friend of mine owned two in his day, one the same colour as this, the other a blue metallic one. Prior to his first Sceptre he had a Sunbeam Rapier the first car I travelled (as passenger) at 100mph.

The first car I actually drove at 100mph was an E Type Jag on a test drive to check out radio interference !!
