Gladys has sat forlornly in her middle bay of our garage hut for nearly two years, gathering dust. Today I decided to grab Gladys by the headlights and see if she still worked.
Praise be, and without any tinkering beforehand whatever she started 'first pull'. I was able to reverse her out of the garage and give her a much needed wash:
The brass is dull and I might just leave it that way for a while at least.
After a wash-and brush-up she started again and I was able to drive her back into the garage - with her hood up too!
I tried out some black (of course) Simoniz polish on one rear wing and that absolutely sparkles:
The curious linear intrusion on both pictures is a leather strap which secures the hood when it is down and resting on its supports at the back of the car. The red rear lamp is a very modern high intensity bicycle lamp - a sensible and probably illegal addition on a slow moving old girl in today's mad world.
