My father's second Singer Gazelle, owned by him from new, just before it was traded in. I have at some point dated the slide mounts "29/30 Jan. 1976" but I must have got the year wrong because the replacement car, bought new, was on an R plate, current from 1 August 1976 to 31 July 1977. When we first looked at the slides, my mother remarked, "what a smart looking car", but the corrosion was in fact quite bad and considerable effort had to be put into keeping it as smart as possible (assisted by my late grandfather's body repair business, which my father ran for a few years); my father also believed that a leak in one corner of the windscreen had corroded the bulkhead. It had done over 100,000 miles.
