Seen in Wick, yesterday

By coincidence it's the Caithness Classic Bike run on Sunday. Usually get a good turnout of old and new. Looking forward to it.

I now have visions of a Villiers 197 engined Frances Barnett howling past me with the pilot furiously hoofing it through the gears to stay in the power band (between 13000-13050 revs) - whilst trying to shake off Wick Traffic Plods' Ford Anglia.....

I fink I'll stay at home.

Edit..i don't fink it's an Anglia in the photie......Wolseley?

Its an Austin A4 Farina. I passed my test in one of those in 1969.

I got to drive the Ford Anglia when I started in the police in 1971. Starsky and Hutch it was not.

Slower than a week in Jail ha ha

I beg to differ, I still say it's an Austin A40. I'll grant you the Farina suffix though, although when it was a current car, I can't remember the Farina part of the name getting much prominence.

Hmmmm, I used to quite like these (not when I was "making progress" though)

Correct, body design by Pininfarina.

My dear old Dad had one in the 60's which he used for amateur road rallying. He'd stuck a twin carb Midget head on it. Didn't do much for the handling though.

You would have thought they would have put the top up in that pissing rain?

Typo on my part. A40 it is. My Dad had an A30, A40 and A50 over the years.
