What about a lovely Slough built Citroen Light 15
Seventy flat out but unbelievable cornering speeds, especially as Michelin owned the company designed the Xs for it.

I learned to drive in one of those at 15 or 16 around home. Lovely old thing!Ashley James wrote:What about a lovely Slough built Citroen Light 15

It caused the biggest row that I ever had with my Dad when he sold it just after having the engine rebuilt, the body resprayed in its original maroon, and the radiator grille re-chromed. 
Sold for the pricely sum of £60 six months before my 17th birthday .....................

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I feel for you, my mother sold my Thornycroft Nippy for £3.50 because I’d parked it on a drain when I left home. I was heartbroken. Tractions are very special.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I bought an E93A Ford Pop for £10, perfect, rust free for my first hot rod.
Parked it on the drive of the house, bursting with enthusiasm for the Build.
My mother and sister thought it a stupid idea and got it towed away without me knowing a week later, never to be seen again. TPL 88, even remember the reg number.
Not long after I bought a 1937 Y Type Ford and that did get the full hot rod treatment!
Found this pic that Jonathan might recognise.

Yes, Keith has moved on to doing many events much further afield than Loton Park! 
Unfortunate for the local spectators
