When did colour first arrive on the scene, slides or negatives? When clearing out Mum & Dad's house, I found a colour slide of their 1940 wedding...

I agree. I am trying to convince my grandchildren that when I was young the whole world was black and white, and has only recently changed to colour. My closing arguement is to look at the old photos, they re all in B and W. Only mixed success so far but I am working on it.

Fabulous stuff, thanks to all those who have posted these superb pics. The B&W is very evocative with this era of cars I think.

Thanks Michael.
I still think that B&W film can hold it's own against digital.

Richard even went to panelbeating nightclasses to learn how to make his own panels. Nothing was easy-things like Oleo struts and rubber band suspension are not parts you pick up at your local "Supercheap" shop. A great example of what can be achieved with skill and perseverance.


Lets see if we can convince Richard to create a dedicated thread about this car, and his restoration of it. I'd certainly love to see that, and I know many on here would share my thoughts.
