Buses, Trollys and Trams - Chas Dunbar

I dont even like Buses, Trollys or Trams but this caught my eye for 50p at a car boot sale. Almost worthless on Amzon - oh well.

Myreton Motor Museum

Whilst visiting folks in Aberlady finally had a walk round the car museum just a mile or so from their house. Great little museum and a treasure trove of signs, pedal cars and other motor related colectables.

Myreton Motor Museum is well signposted from the A198 and B1377 roads and is close to the seaside villages of Aberlady and Gullane, in East Lothian, Scotland.

MORRIS OXFORD Bullnose 1925

This Morris Oxford was found in an Edinburgh scrapyard in 1952 and driven home. Whilst it was being restored a letter was found behind the door trim, it had been written to the new owners aunt this led to the discovery that the car had been purchased new by Willie Dales grandfather. Since 1952 it has done a considerable mileage, and in the 60s at the hands of Andrew Cruickshank (Dr Cameron) who used it in the television series Dr Finlays Casebook

Can I go home now Daddy?

Sunbeam (I think)

 CHRYSLER Evening News Van 1926
This was one of a fleet of seven similar vans used by the Edinburgh Evening News, the others were Austins and has long since been scrapped. Vans like this were a regular sight in and around Edinburgh until retirement in !952 when it was sold to the Sword collection. When that collection was sold it returned to the News being used for publicity, but lack of space forced a second retirement and we purchased it. It is a very smooth and reliable runner with plenty of power, but not very comfortable , most of its space being reserved for the newspapers.

Cool dial in the Chrysler News Van

MESCHERSCHMITT Micro Car 1982

Spot the 99 year old

Three for £20

 Picked these three up for £20 in north Berwick, mainly cos the Pritchard is a 1st Edition.

The first is hard back 993 Carrera brochure in excellent condition complete with the tech data sheet. Was only £2 and these are already going for decent money on ebay as collectors want all the docs to go with their cars. I'll hold onto this one.

 A 1st Edition which was £16 but worth it as I have enjoyed some other of Pritchards books. Mark/Model specific books always worth having anyway.

Bad choice this one as it is pretty crap and not worth much but I did the three books on a deal so I will call it as free. Just funny anacdotal type stories from Jackie.

Afternoon in Wales

Nice afternoon driving up through wales.
Drove up from Hay on Wye targetting the B4355 from Knighton to Delfor then worked up to
the B4391 (photo taken above at the top of the hill)then up the super quick B4401 then got bored on the A5104 and turned of on a whim and discovered the horseshoe pass, which was pretty good.
