Austin presents - Quiet Christmas and New Year - Driving-wise

The 20th Dec turned out to be the last drive of 2015. There were one or two days that Amy could have got out for a spin, but never bothered in the end! Bit different to last year where she was out and about in minus temperatures!

I bought a semaphore cover which has been missing since I got the car, so that tidies that little niggle up.

Also splashed out on a copy of the Austin 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee book. I've had an eye on one for ages and finally bought it. £50 didn't seem bad. Really good condition for 60 years old. It's the illustrations that caught my eye. But it makes for an interesting read too.

Sadly it closes with the words "We await the future with eagerness and optimism." I think most would agree that the road was mostly a slow downhill from there and the second fifty years ended in the final demise of Longbridge and the British Motor industry as a whole.
