Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

Jackie: I'm too old to stand on my head to look at your pictures. Maybe your buddy can fix them so I can look.

Thanks Bob——-There you go Johnno—- try those for size !
Very rare Willy’s (of JEEP fame) nice clean original condition—— Jowett Jupiter —— Made at IDLE in Bradford Yorkshire my home town.
3:8 Jaguar—- had one of those for many years—- had an E Type Jaguar too—— primrose yellow—- bought it from a friend of mine “ TATTY ALAN” .

Ok — so what—- I can live with that— You’re all too busy ! Frankly my dear —- I don’t give a flying fart !

Jackie don't get too despondent, you can't expect folks from over the pond to have much of an interest in old British chariots.....You can hardly compare a Morris Minor with a Bel Air of the same period can you?...

Or a Rolls with a Caddie——- or a D Type Jag with a Vette—— remember ‘‘twas the Brits who took the V8 and made it go —- and last.
We were onceg very good at making automobiles—— but that was long before the Germans and the Japs took over the-car industry.

Are there any automobiles being made in the UK these days? By that I mean regular cars, not exotics. I always wanted a Healy 3000.

About three miles down the road from me is the Rolls Royce Factory—- believe me, they produce some wonderful automobiles.
Just up the M1 apiece is the ASTON MARTIN factory——maybe a tad exotic but nonetheless an iconic motor art.
Then— there’s that little old firm who produce MORGANS—— with a waiting list as long as your arm!
Another quintessentially English manufacturer is BENTLEY—— another of the worlds best motorcars
Another iconic supercar is the McLaren—- exotic—- quick—-expensive—- but if it’s top-end Speed you want, look no further!
So, in answer to your question my friend—— car production in England is alive and well.

Was asked by one of the guys at Geico if I would make a Geico Gold Ghost? For a big bag of gold I’ll make anything !

is Morgan the only brit owned car builder?

Morgan is a family owned operation and always has been—— as I understand it.
I have no idea who owns what with the car industry—— I know the French own our electricity supply and the water we drink and the nuclear energy plants , in fact, we don’t own much of anything anymore Pilgrim!
