I passed my test on a Silent( LE) Velocette and my car ones on a Morris 8 1935 and a Side Valve Morris Minor that had had 5 new engines and 3 new gearboxes in its life. No heater but one of those funny electric de-misters. At least the Velocette had a radiator! :clap:

I taught the kids at 14 on my Seat 127 left hand drive on the back of a Spanish  beach.
Most English people seem to change gear on 'Cuddy Hander's'  by winding the window handles up and down. :lol:

AussieJimG:
Ah yes, the Velo Noddy bike. How we Triumph riders sneered in those day. And at BSA Bantams too. :hammer:

Today there are clubs just for those machines and I could not afford one! Just as well I still have one Triumph.  :thumbup:
