No problem, I agree it's a shame some of the photos aren't viewable any more

Sorry for the thread bump. I believe Welptons were originally on Hessle Square opposite Turner and Sellers who were a Ford agent years ago

This came up on my Facebook feed today @LightBulbFun

She's been a right madam lately

Took Eccles to Wales the other day to give him a run out and get some photos. Plans for 2024 include a fortnight in Torquay and Cornwall in June, a trip to Dover in October and a trip out to Somerset and Wiltshire at some point probably in about March

Eyerseyette has apparently got her driving test again next week. The Corsa has hardly been used since she got it, the engine light came on days after she bought it, as it was a private sale no comeback whatsoever, she whinged like fuck that the seller wouldn't fix it. She got a mobile mechanic out who apparently 'fixed' it, the next time she drove it the light came back on again. Turns out there is a split coolant pipe causing it according to another mobile mechanic.

I must admit I had to do a bit of digging. It appears several years ago a forum member was trying to trace it saying their dad bought it new, nobody responded to the thread but a couple of years or so later someone else joined the forum also claiming their dad bought it new, the sole reference person 2 had found to it on Google was the original thread. Something like that anyway.

I read that as handbrake at first 🤣

I wonder what the resulting offspring would look like 🤣🤣

Another mileometer moment last night

Did the Ministry invalid vehicles have to be repaired/serviced etc at an approved repairer or could any garage service them? Also how were the private ones sold, was it through an approved dealer or did they have to be ordered through the ministry?

I wonder how many people were still using the blue invalid cars in 2003, there can't have been many by that point

Eccles had another trip out yesterday, this time to Beamish, around 300 miles covered

No changes to the direct Eyersey fleet though madam now has a 2011 Corsa and her partner has a 2019 Lexus of some description

Thanks LBF

@LightBulbFun apologies if this has been answered in the thread already, were the Model 70s or any other invalid vehicle crash tested? If so how did they compare to say a Mini of the time?

Welcome it sounds like you have a fine collection of chod

Welcome to the madhouse, there's some cookies in a jar by the kettle, that's if @Cavcraft or @Dan302 haven't scoffed them all

An Eyersey style moment, excellent

Front tyres done,I got 2 Avons for £141 fitted

Eccles had a run up to the Scottish border yesterday, just over 500 miles covered in a day

Eccles is booked in for 2 new front tyres next Saturday

Madam is convinced she won't have a prang in the Corsa in her first year of driving, I doubt that somehow 🤣
