There is a company over here in Jersey that does classic car hire. They have a really good Traveller and a 2 Door.

This is an absolutely amazing find! Quite eery to think that was probably really busy at one time. I can just imagine a movie scene like in Titanic when it's the wreck as its found but with ghostly people walking around in it's day. I like the 'new Morris Minors' bit too :lol:


Just J-j-j-jiggle it a bit.
