Beaulieu was great. I expected to see the 1000hp and 350hp cars. Imagine my delight at finding the "real" Tiger and the Cub there too!
They needed a net to get me out of the place.
Just to show what a sad git I am I have also visited the Rootes factories at Linwood, Ryton and Stoke, the original Sunbeam factories in Wolverhampton and hope to find the remains of the original Talbot premises in London.
