That was my first car. The white mk 2 escort. I can also recognise Arthur Howarths car on the right hand side.

Anyone have any info on the stock that used to be stored in the old steam shed? I remember when we used to "sneak round" in the late 70s it was full of ancient coaching stock, vans and the like. Course we never gave it a second glance, only being interested in "Big D's" and "Peak Namers"!

Hello Neil, Mark was driving more up market cars by 1983. He would have had his Fiesta XR2 by then. I had 2 white escorts a P Reg then later a T Reg.
