My mum used to have one of these in the seventies…I used to sit in the ‘boot’ as a kiddie. Thanks for the memory :)

Haha you’re welcome! I’m hoping to keep this one pretty much original, but the “boot” will be getting a cushy makeover for just that purpose :o)

Stuart Chapman
Excellent lighting and reflections Jane. Love how the straight lens of the garage door are picked up and move with the curves of the car door. Lovely low angle and the cropping of part of the car works very will in my opinion.
Jane Keats replied
Thanks so much Stuart, it’s nice to know that when I think about a photo, someone sees that, really appreciated!!
Bill Gamblin
