Hi Tim

I know its a little off thread but what are the other two cars I can see in the garage. They look like a Wolseley and a Riley, are they?

If vintage vehicles are your interest why not start a thread on the history board I'm sure you will get lots of members join in.

Hi Phil
 Those cars are in fact my dads collection plus a few others The one is a Wolseley Wasp 1936, and the other is a Talbot 10 Airline saloon which he has recently sold to someone in Coventry.

Hi Tim

You must tell us a little about your dads collection of vehicles and show us a few photos. I have to say I don't remember Wimbushs vans being green. I have a memory of them being a wine & cream colour or perhaps I'm thinking of another firm.
