Today's sortie in the A352 was again to the Austin A35 meeting at Staverton Aerodrome. It was a little chilly on the way but warmed up nicely for the return. As I was about to leave, two young uniformed helicopter pilots came and complimented me on my 'D-Type' as they'd never seen one in the flesh. I fessed up.
Today, having seen it advertised on their club web site, a good few 'Trevors' showed up, including this one with an interesting roof.
It took me straight back to the early 70s when, having seen Spridgets sporting Bermuda Hard Tops, I decided on similar for my 1960 Mini. The two front roof lights, which I had done first, are Mini rear side windows, fitted by a local windscreen outfit. I liked them so much that I took it back after a while and asked if he had anything for the back, leaving it with him. He plumped for an E-Type Coupe back window rotated 180° - result!
Happy Days!
Regards, Mick
