You feel old? I got my T shirts doing similar repairs on a Jowett Javelin and the Lea-Francis Sports I got as a swap after I married, when having a nice big bench seat in the front was no longer so important.

At least cars were interesting and fixable at the roadside back then. Now, I hardly know where to start on them  :(.

Good work Darren,  yes I have one of those T-shirts too.  My Riley had brakes designed on  Monday morning the day after the works picnic.  Hydaulic brakes on the front and mechanicals on the rear  incorporating the worst features of each system.  The rear brakes hardly worked at all and the front brakes (which actually worked OK)  had twin leading shoes which means very poor braking going backwards,  this city has some very steep streets and I eventually learned to reverse down the steet at mind numbing speeds! ::)
Darren:
Wotsa Jowett Javelin and the Lea-Francis Sports  :lol:

Crikey ... you guys .... my car is a 1997 .... is that old  :ddb:

I had a very hot Astra that I did many mods to inc totally tuning the engine with no expense spared. That had disk and drums on the back .... weird ..  :D
John Hill:
My first car was a 1930 De Soto... :lol:
