Second Hand Car Dealers???

We, (BCalH), bought a '61 from them back in 1980 and the trip to McMinville seemed like a journey to the end of the world. On a foggy day a 'test hover' was the only way to check it out. It had a dose of TR brinelling so they had to fix that but worst of all we found a stack of relays in the nose bay that were not of aviation origin. "Looks like they've been raiding the domestic appliance stores." was one comment.

Nonetheless '61s were like hens teeth back then so we snapped it up and it went through the Marshall's 'Anglicisation Mill' down in Cambridge before emerging as G-BIMU.
