Albion on the continent

Talking about Moggies (sorry I know it’s not Albion - but let’s blame Eddy!) we visit my daughter in Bicester very regularly. This involves taking the grandson for regular walks. A near neighbour has two. One is a 2 door B reg. the other is older, still a 2 door, but although the same shape, somehow smaller! Split windscreen, tiny rear window.

My stepmother had one. In about 1972, we ran a guesthouse in Barrow. Moggies had a habit of a front wheel collapsing - this happened to her in front of the Vickers offices. Within 2 minutes she was surounded by helpers. The problem was fixed in minutes with new parts from within the shipyard . Later, the guests said ‘well, we couldn’t jeapordise our evening meal!’
