Vital measurements needed to be taken from an actual vehicle as having only vehicle pictures to work from did not give a true idea of how a J type is constructed.
 |
| Driving up the M4 motorway to London, traffic rather light. |
 |
| Earls Court, roadworks and we moved forward about two vehicles at a time with each changing of the traffic lights. |
 |
| A posh London restaurant on the corner of the Kings Road, at least something nice in the window. |
 |
| Battersea Power station can just be seen over the distant trees. Yes more heavy traffic. |
 |
| An interesting tyre supplier, they stock remould Taxi tyres in 16 inch. ( why they want to break shock absorbers, I do not know) I think the sign writer meant Brakes, not Breaks. Just me being very picky. |
 |
| A full lunch was provided as a thank you for bring the van to the restoration workshop. |
 |
| Is that the MI5 building I spy ahead? |
 |
| Over Vauxhall bridge on my way home, more heavy traffic as one day cricket at the Kennington Oval. |
 |
| Mini cab driver gets in the way of the London Eye as we crawl home. Still the JB got me there and back and a very interesting day and I hope a few more J type friends made. Thanks to "Bob" for making me very welcome on the day. |
