Surprisingly, my other half truly enjoyed the trip to Malvern. I think
she liked it because the atmosphere was so friendly and because you can
get so close to the actual hands-on feel of the company, its people, and
how they operate. Also, she understood how rare it is to find such a
special car still being made by hand.
Since our trip was a good mix of castles, day hikes, sightseeing,
shopping, and British car-related activities, she put up with my
activities and the cries of "oh, look, there's another [MG, Morgan,
Austin, Triumph, Morris, etc.]!".
