Hi Tony Rastone,
Is this motor one of your sales? N.M.P

No Pete it came from Lloyds of Stafford.Probably sold by Mick Richards.Never did sell anything to Stan Pegg but he had dealt with Mick for a year or two We used to chat a few times in the Clifford Arms at Great Haywood and he used to pop in and see me at T.C.H.I think it was to have a bit of a snoop but it didn’t matter.Those were the days when you didn’t have to do things by the book.No sitting in a posh showroom and concrete yard.Best place to get a brew would be in the operators garage sitting in a car seat fitted to a box’ round a pot bellied stove,small " kitchen" at the end of the bench with a newspaper table cloth and black finger marks on the mugs and a sugar basin with white sugar that had changed into a golden colour.
That motor had a ■■■■■■■ 504 in it.

Tony
