DNE Manchester 1937
Bloody hell, Grandad did well with that one then, didn’t he? 
I don’t think Dad kept it long though, no more than a year I think and then he had a real variety. A Singer, a VW, a Jaguar (one wheel of which came off in Stockport and he had to retrieve it from the butchers’) and an MG, when brother and I were off the payroll, so to speak. Years later a Capri, brand new and just before he was transferred to Tokyo, too late to cancel so he asked bro and I to take it for a spin now and again so it didn’t ossify. Of course we obliged, a lovely motor.
