Some people are left perplexed! Great isn't it.

It is amazing and sad how few of our youngsters have any idea what they are.

Was doing some work on someone's garden the other day which meant I had to leave Black Beauty rond the back, outside some terraced concrete garages.

Went back to the car towards the end of the job and a 400 year old Luxembourg woman was looking at the car.

She said to me, in English, "I've never seen one of these before."
"No ? a TVR ?"
"No, I've never heard of them."
"They're a small manufacturer in the north of England."
"Very nice, beautiful."

... and off she went. I've never been so impressed with a Luxo...

Good Girl !
