IMAGE: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e375/Exfangman/Old%20ones/Rileyandruby.jpg
Austin 7 Ruby 1937 and Riley 9 Monaco circa 1939 The last they made pre WWII
Taken about 1951 when I used my father's 1930's 16 on 120 Iconta having graduated from his Zeiss 5x4 plate. My DIY develop and printing in a black-out bathroom was the norm - unfortunately all my fathers cameras went missing after a house move - Oh to have them now! Another from a box of negatives from my early days with a camera - much easier to enlarge now days with a scanner and Photoshop.

Canon 600D, 40D, 350D + 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200is, 70-200 2.8DG and 70-300. Still have A1 and 300 EOS and must get out my Rollei TLR sometime

The Riley looks similr to my dad's Morris 10, as you say back in the days of real motoring and a 60 mile trip was an adventure :)

The Riley was a pleasure to drive (illegally for me) but I had a part share in a Austin 7 Ruby as a student - cost us £10 each between the three of us.
