Absolutely beautiful. If I was rich, I'd buy something like that at any asking price.

Decades back every window cleaner and tradesman ran one complete with box side car. All long since run and bodged until the last bit of life was eked out of them.

Here's a mate's Y13 by the side of the M62. We were on the way to the John Bull when his oil pressure dropped to zero.  We had to cut a Britie ant-wet-sumping valve out of the oil line as it had stuck closed and wasn't passing oil.  Lucky a gauge was fitted.
