"I wonder if anyone here knows this car? The photograph was taken in the late 1950s in the village of Box, Somerset. Apparently, it belonged to a friend of my parents and I was taken home from the hospital in it when a few days old. DVLA records show that it is a May 1926 3 litre and is currently taxed." |
