Sorry about that..  Apparently Norm uses some kind of 
fancy dynamic linking to pictures stored on Mark's 
site.. and they don't know how to spell glimpses!

TRY THIS:

http://www.classictiger.com/mudge/glimpes/car10.htm

If this doesn't work this time, just go to Norm's site 
at:
http://www.rootes1.com

and look around...  If you haven't done this before, you 
are missing something!
