In todays Daily Telegraph, Thurs, 14th August, the following appeared:- A driver has been reunited with a 74 year old Morris Minor that he bought as his first car 50 years ago. John Nagle, 67, of Lower Earley, Berks, paid £4500 for the RARE (my capitals!) 1934 model that initially cost him £30. Is he one of us? Is he known to us? Only last week in the same paper a David Overton found the Austin 7 he owned 50 years ago and with the article came a very good photgraph of the car and owner in 1958 and today. Are you all on holiday? Highlander.

Yes, John is a member - and is currently looking after the Bed-Pan for me. He has sent me a superb article on his reuniting with OW 4224 which is slated for M 132. Wonderful story. It turns out that he went to the same Reading grammar school as me. There was also a piece on the car in the Sun this week.
