Granddad and Grandma with their car in 1963 The car was pale blue and I actually owned it after Granddad died in 1976, mum made me sell it though because she had promised it to the man down the road. I couldn't drive anyway but that wasn't the point. I used to sit in the front seat after grandma died and would switch the lever on the dashboard to make the indicators pop out. He nursed that car and carried on driving it until a few months before his death. When he was too ill to drive he made mum or me go to the garage and turn the engine over to keep the battery ticking.
