thedawnpatrol Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hello Julian Welcome to the forum. I noticed work was in progress when I visited a couple of weeks ago, I had an enjoyable visit and spent some time talking to an old friend, David. Mention Julian from Oxford and he will fill you in. So, apart from your fantastic second to none collection of Battle of Britain memorabilia, you have some interesting vehicles too, I remember Mike was always keen to find period 1940 vehicles. I too have a 1940 morris CS8, that is in line for restoration soon, as Richard said, if you have the old one, it can be rebuilt, I'm afraid MCC 6 cylinder water pumps are hard to find, if you have nothing, I have one that needs rebuilding you can have. Let me know All the best Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fayjo56 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Welcome! Great to hear from THE Museum. When I was 'still at home' our family holiday for many years was in Folkestone and a visit to Hawkinge was the highlight for my Brother and I, have been back a few times since. Hope to revisit again before to long. Great to hear the vehicles are getting the attention they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
