Don’t forget your Thermos.

And an extra safe, triple thick condom. You never know!

Where's the AA van

I don't think we're in a position to be so cocky.

Ah but, is it a thermos though ?

Kissing cousins.

I apologize in advance.

A gentle riposte Phil...

And the car that started it all, his recalcitrant Ferrari 250GTE, currently with Ian Tyrrell for restoration...

Post it on Facebook. Odds on it'll go viral and people will be accusing big oil of suppressing your invention in a week!

George and his second car, photographed by Mike McCartney.

“Not long after he bought the Ford, George could afford to trade it for a flash Jaguar. It was the first time I’d ever been in a car where you just pressed a button and the window wound up and down by magic. When he knocked on our Allerton front door demanding photos of his latest acquisition, I protested,
‘But, George, it’s getting dark.’
‘Bring your flash,’ came the reply.
‘And it’s raining!’ I added.
‘Bring your umbrella,’ he finalized.”

George was a massive petrolhead and had loads of cars, as well as the above he had an E-Type FHC, Aston DB5, a Mk1 Mini 850, a Radford Mk1 Mini Cooper for his wife Patti in dayglow orange, a Radford Cooper S for himself which was originally black but he had it repainted in full on psychedelic style in '67 (the family still own it), a '66 Ferrari 275GTB, several big Mercs and Porsche 911s etc. Like Peter Sellers he was a serial car buyer and probably had around a hundred over the years.









Note consecutive reg' numbers...











Macca had a Radford Mk1 Cooper S with Aston rear lights and a DB6 amongst others (in the '70s he had an Espada)...

Looks like an early Triumph 2000 behind the Jensen Healey mate.

I think you're right. There was a brown (it had to be brown) Dolomite there too...along with two of these beasts...my brother had one in the early 90s. It was an ex-funeral car, clearly for the living only 10k on the clock but in 10 years! It was black (obvs)
