Hi All
Took a certain Ken Rowberry out for drive in the special today. At 84 he remembered the time in the late 50s when he had a 1927 special. It was his first car and one that, he said, “taught” him to drive. Whilst away doing National Service his mother had the car scrapped. Shock horror. So 65 years later he wanted to recreate the feeling and have a ride in a similar age special. His son Nick got in touch with Peter Hales (the Association registrar) who put the word out and my car fitted the bill and was closest to him.
I think he enjoyed it even though his door flew open at one stage!
Cheers
Howard
