The Anglebox was inherited from the family business - we'd had it since 1958! 0-60 in about 29 seconds when new and still blessed with all of its 36 bhp. Flat out it would allegedly do 73 mph if you could stand the racket and vibration.
Eventually it was sold at auction for £15 - a pile of railway sleepers from the old Taunton - Chard railway line went for £16!
However, when I went back to Cranwell after university, I did so in a 3 year old MG Midget! Even that had boasted a mere 65 bhp...and 0-60 was a leisurely 14.6 seconds!
So many names of once proud RAF flying stations being recalled on this thread - and many were still active in the 60s and 70s; we've not even mentioned the likes of Weston Zoyland etc from the 1950s.
