  1. Perfect timing. I particularly love Gamage's Women's Motoring Clothing and Accessories - what every elegant car owner/wife had to be seen in, during an era when only the elite drove private cars.

    Thanks for the link

  2. Thank you Hels. I still wonder how satisfactory the women's clothing would have been in very wet, cold and windy conditions riding in these draughty and no doubt leaky vehicles - that's when they actually had tonneau covers. Folk back then were hardy souls though.
