I found a chap walking around my E this morning. "If you like old cars" he said "you'll like what I've got in my garage."

The BSA is a military Model G. It was used by the retreating army in 1939 and left behind after Dunkirk. The Germans took it to Jersey were it remained until the end of the war. It was sold off along with loads of other war surplus.

The Daimler 250 is tired and needs some love. It starts but wont run for more than a few seconds, uteerly refusing to restart thereafter.

In addition this chap has a pre WW1 Renault, a Silver Shadow II and several other cars all in storage. He needs a bigger garage.

Love anything with a story attached to it like the bike. I'm sure I could find space for some of them! Not sure my wife would agree.

I would love to see more pics of that pre-WW1 Renault too. Sounds like this guy's garage is a treasure trove of automotive history!
