I worked there in the mid 90s and the whole place was a snapshot in time of
60s and early 70s cars. There was one MGA in town at the time, and a few
minis. All quite rough but metalwork is cheap to be had so if you got past
the Frankencut and weld, rust wasn't a problem. I suspect the MGA was
hidden in a barn somewhere until it was safe to take it out again. Lots of
lambrettas, and the like, I used to waterski on the river there being towed
by a James Bond type 70s power boat. I actually broke my oz friend's water
ski when I hit a floating palm tree... Not too safe!
