Is Westfield the only English car company now left? And to think England was the largest exporter of cars in the world in the early 1950s. Times change, I guess.

They sort of are, Ray, at least the ones with the steering wheels on the right side of the car.  Smile

Blimey, I cant remember if mine had a steering wheel, that is a bit 'high tech' isn't it?

Panda car had a blue light. How cool was that! I could never be bothered with it, people used to panic and do stupid things infront of you. Better to wind down window and say 'Clear off out of the way'
