Could this be a Daimler DART. I remember something after that style from way
back. In fact I was stopped one day while driving my 65 Midget to work, by a
nice black car of that description, it had a large shiny BELL on the front
that was ringing to get my attention. The gentleman driving and his
passenger were wearing uniforms! Cost me 35 pounds sterling and a visit to
HARROW MAGISTRATES COURT. I later discovered that the car had a V8 motor, no
wonder I could not loose it. My driving license was never the same, it had
two entries made by the court, they said " EXCESS SPEED" and "DRIVING
WITHOUT DUE CARE AND ATTENTION" We live and learn!!
Funny how some things are never forgotten.
