Garage find

These are in the conservatory,for how much longer I don’t know, the wife thinks they would look better in the garage…

Both nice collections haddy,especially the Guy Warrior badges.
Cheers Dave.

Clean-up totally un-necessary, Haddy- unlike mine, you can still see parts of the walls!

After all those years locked away, the ■■■■■■■ might need greasing :stuck_out_tongue:

Aye, but what kind of grease would one use, Synthetic perhaps or drivers lippygrease Eh, How lovely, Ha Ha. Regards Larry.

Forty years on,you wouldn’t know the knockers from the knee’s. :wink:
Cheers Dave.

My missus"s are at the same level :stuck_out_tongue:

Those photos are about four years old. The walls and beams are now just about full in the garage with badges and nameplates. God knows what will happen to them when I “pop my clogs” as my sons and grandsons are not interested in them. But they have orders to find a good home for everything including 25+ photo albums. I hope it is several years away yet though!
I regret not collecting them sooner because I’ve seen very many motors go for scrap over the years with all the badges etc. intact. What a terrible waste! Regards Haddy, Gt. Yarmouth.

Not wanting to sound like i’m wishing you gone Haddy, but if i’m still about, I’d give them a good home. :wink:

Great to see someone saving even the badges of manufacturers that are now consigned to the history books. On a different note i was near Hemsby a couple of summers ago and there was a house with Big J in the garden, i couldn’t stop but she looked restorable, you never know it might of even been one of Bewick’s elusive straight eights! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Daz

now thats a mans garage . love it

Then there’s the garden. The few “ornaments” include a tractor seat, small cartwheel, the seat off an Albion corn binder, two pig troughs and a couple of railway chairs, not the sort you sit on, these hold the track onto the sleeper. Regards Haddy.

I can’t recall seeing that Big J. I venture that way occasionally to “Chelsea by the Sea” sorry Hemsby but live on the Beccles side of Yarmouth. Talking about restorations I was at a farm not far away from where I live recently and I happened to ask about an old Karrier Bantam tipper which could at one time be seen from the road. Apparently it is locked up in a barn these days and I was told it was the last one off the production line at Rootes. It would be good to see it restored wouldn’t it. Regards Haddy

If the 2nd girl from the left bent over, then PP would become POP

I will have to have a look in my garage, I will have to get the old MGB GT Fired up & pulled out & have a look to see what I have hoarded over the years, Ive plenty of stuff in there but It will take a while to sort it out, Regards Larry.

Didn’t know where else to put this. Has a sort of garage theme…

The wet days have not been wasted, I’ve had a rearrangement in the “museum”,a long way to go yet and plenty of room for more stuff.
As you can see I’m not a brilliant photographer, that flash reflection is a pest ! Cheers Haddy.
