johnfromstaffs ◊ 2017-08-04 08:19	Quite probably yes, and what other options are there? Morris Minor, Singer Junior and Triumph Super Seven, all tall small cars. The early Austin Sevens had 26 inch wheels, you might scale from that. What could be a rather fine Daimler at the other end of the row. -- Last edit: 2017-08-04 09:26:57
