That is the old Austin A-Farty.. A40. Otherwise known as the sausage machine. YOu did not always need to push it to start, but you always needed a darning needle to start it...
We had some great times in that car, I will always remember 15 people in the car, and Carrie in her carry-cot booting down wellington lane on the way to Bolbrook Grove...
