It was 1994 and Shannen Doherty, Adrien Brody and a Triumph Scrambler were all together in 'Jailbreakers'.

If we did , we wouldn’t be worrying about getting through the winter without power cuts.

It is indeed still around.  In fact I know the current owner slightly and have actually worked on it!  I do wonder whether it was originally registered as a Lotus, or whether the number came from the Austin 7 it was based on.    

Are we sure it’s on an Austin chassis? Those rims look suspiciously like Ford 103e rims..

The Lotus Mk2 looking refreshingly rough round the edges.

 

Again with the rims.. Ford axles at least?

It is an Austin chassis with Ford axles.  Or the front axle may be Austin with Ford spindles.

We store far more gas (in the national grid mains) nowadays than we did in the days of local gasholders…
