I drove my buddies car once and it was positively medieval. The cowl is wood framed and moves slightly side to side over bumps, it's quite disconcerting. The brakes are drums all around and take planning when deciding where to stop. I found that there's little sensation of increased speed because it's soooooo windy at any speed.A few years ago a group of us went to a British car meet in Nova Scotia and took all the back roads until 100 kms or so before Windsor where we had to take the highway. We where all surprised that Joe and the -TD blasted along at 90KPH! It sounded like it was going to explode but survived well. I was impressed that he drove it at those speeds since I found it terrifying at anything over 60 KPH.Thanks for thinking of me and asking.

Thank you.Fascinating stories! 😀I thought it could possibly be a pre-war spider, maybe a variation on the Riley theme.
December 12, 2025Dec 12 What's interesting about Brit cars is that the export market had priority after the war in order to bring much needed cash into GB. They where easily available in North America, we had ready cash because our economy was in high gear, now making domestic products instead of war goods, and so we bought. There's lots of these great old cars still hiding in barns and garages, waiting to be discovered. I've helped a few friends recover some cars, the latest being an MGYT that was mostly rust. It was a four seat version of the TD and included a jacking system on each wheel. I have a story with pictures on our club's website if you're interested. My first car, a 1968 E-Type Jaguar I bought in 1976, is still in my garage waiting for spring.

There are plenty of photos of her, but still no name.

The eyebrows seem a bit off, and this Sarah is a redhead whereas the model is blonde. I know both could be changed, but I think we’ll need additional confirmation...
