The 1st family car i bought, when i won the colliery football pontoon £40. I think it was a ford Anglia.
Must have been about 1961, i remember the big headlights on front wings and when engine slowed down to idle, had to put hand out of window to help them keep wiping. Only other thing i remember was indicators in B pillar. Used to take my mother for a drive around the Brecon Beacons,very few cars on the road those days. A joy to be driving.

The Pilot had a standard fitting Radio TC, i used to get into trouble when Dad went to dig worms for fishing and I sat in the car with instructions not to put the wireless on...... Aye right, well it did have a starting handle. Six volt system and no doubt 6-8 amps drain with the wireless on.
A five valve set with vibrator for HT.

My Uncle George had a Prefect the same as that. FAG 355 and oddly enough my other Uncle Bill had a V8 Pilot. I never saw him much as he was in Liverpool as a Police Inspector hence he could afford the V8.

I still remember the smell of musty leather in the Prefect though.

Mum & Dad had a few Fords starting with a 5cwt Thames van JCS 480 followed by an Escort, NSD 884 the proper Mk1 which was a Thames van converted basically into a five seater. That was followed by a Consul Classic TCS 993 and finally a 1200 cc Cortina BAG 384B

I was always better at remembering car numbers than folks names

Yes, but I have only seen it appear once after I forgot to check the tank level. It shows on the high level dash as a graphic and when it shows there is still a bit of water left, but it disables the headlight wash to conserve what is left.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
