Hi Zak,
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but will a certain 'green convertible and accompanying figure' be present in the final photo shoot??

Bet the photos are in a brown sepia colour with metal stands to hold people steady while the photo was taken over a long long long period of time - hohohoho now I am in trouble.

My dad had a collection of classic vehicles. I distinctly remember a big green Bentley and a dark blue Riley sports saloon. A restored truck could well have been in the collection. He ran a haulage and taxi business.
