I remember an early "Which" test that features a Morris Minor. They rigged up some sort of contraption to measure MPG from cold and for the first few miles it was down in single figures....
My son, Julian, had a drive in the Chummy last weekend, the first old car he's been in since being taken home from hospital in a Ruby after his birth. He said, "You used to do WHAT mileage in one of these! Impossible!". I had to agree with him, it does seem strange at this distance in time...

It passed! 65 mile round trip but gave it a good run in the freezing cold morning air through Chatsworth Park and over Beeley Moor. Joe had a short drive and was a little traumatised by the experience. One or two teething problems to be ironed out now. (On the car that is).
