Piece on an SA collector of british cars with the hope of starting a museum by 2020. What a Gal!

It was a bit depressing really , few hundred cars and most of them were rough , 40 or so outside in the weather as well . If they can clean them up and preserve them properly they have the makings of a good museum but they have a hell of a lot of work ahead of them .

I saw one mini, a rough white one.

The moris in the studio was very nice, unfortunately it wasn't theirs though. If they could make all their cars like that they could do them justice. At the moment it looks like the makings of a good junkyard.

I hope they can find the genie hidden in there !!

Cheers
Steve

When I first read your post I read:
"She had a load of crap cars, including morries, Austin's, mini's, and heaps others."

I didn't see the article, but it sounds like I wasn't too far wrong :lol:

How rude!
