Her name is Gerty she was built in 1968 and was purchased in November 2013 from Edinburgh. She was a barn find that was fully restored in 2010-2011
When initially found in 2009 she was restored back to original condition with original fittings but as we were looking to drive her in London we made a series of practical upgrades in 2013 through Charles Wares in Bristol.

The odometer reading is 69,800 mi and she has done about 3000 miles in the last 3 years Gerty is a great runabout and solid little car and I’m very sad to see her go.
