Ah.  Now that we're talking about British antique cars I can mention  my 1965 
Morgan Plus 4.  It's built like an antique phonograph and is just  as much 
fun to fix!  When I want to grease the front end I just step on a  button on the 
floor and hot oil from the crankcase sprays the front end  joints.  Reminds 
me of the oil ports on an Edison disc machine!  It  was designed in 1936 and 
really hasn't changed much since then.  
Since it's British I would have to travel with my HMV 460 Lumiere in the  
passenger seat.  Now THAT I'm not willing to do.  There would be no  room for 
anything but the Lumiere!  And I can just see the Lumiere  diaphraghm bouncing 
around on a rough road!  Forget that!!  The Morgan  has stagecoach leaf springs 
in the rear!
I started and ended my car collection with the Morgan. I put a pit in  my 
garage and  even built an extra garage for the car "collection" and  then decided 
that phonographs were just as interesting and were more of a year  round 
hobby.  So that's where I am at present.  But I love both the  phonos and Morgan.
