Another Car Owner Is Reunited With His Old Car,

in 1959 Pete Thomson, then aged 20 bought his first car,


a 1934 Austin Ten registered VN6138 for £45, after owning it for 8 years he sold it on and heard nothing more until 44 years later when the current owner asked if he wanted to buy it back, answer, Yes! in the time it had been out of his keeping it had been completely stripped down to its chassis, rebuilt and sprayed a different colour but had never been used on the road, Pete (72) went to Eston in Teesside where the car was kept and after a short test run decided to buy it,

great story that I am sure will be repeated many times over the years, now where is my fiber glassed bodied Austin 7, registration number VGP 750?
