An Isotta-Fraschini front axle, at present on a disused trailer, is reported from N. Wales. Still they turn up, the latest being a Rolls-Royce saloon and a 1926 Humber Fourteen tourer in sorry state in a shed behind piles ot rubbish “somewhere in Surrey.” where they have stood since before the war, but not for sale. Then there is a J.A.P.engined Raleigh 3-wheeler van for sale in Northamptonshire. an early Leyland platform lorry and other old cars in a yard in Scotland, and a 9.8h.p. 1934 B.S.A. saloon derelict since 1959.
