Old film - winchman - 19-05-2023
I remember watching a short film some one found an old car in a garage at the side of a house and got it up and running, it was 40's perhaps 50's can any one point me to it?
Found it

The 1923 Bull Nose (unsurprisingly) survives - but not the RR, registration YJW47.

Lovely bit of film.
Has anyone else used a vacuum cleaner spray gun? My mother sprayed our Ruby with her Electrolux in the 1950s and I used it again to apply the primer coats when we restored it in the 1980s. I got a better spray pattern than the bullnose Morris owner!

I spray painted the Seven's wheels hanging on the clothes line with silver paint using mother's vacuum cleaner gun in the 1950s.
Don't think I ruined the vacuum !

What a super little film. Brings it all back!

I had long conversations with a colleague at work about spraying with a vacuum cleaner, some 10 or 15 years ago. He was a firm advocate. I'm afraid I failed to keep any useful notes and he has now retired...

Also surviving is the petrol station at Bucks Horn Oak on the A325, although greatly enlarged and now selling Shell rather than BP.

Sadly the "Halfway House" pub opposite closed a few years ago.
