(pronounced beeoo lee) its south of London somewhere. The Montague Arms
Hotel is right accross the street. The museum was, I beleive,
orriginally part of the "Montague" estate. Very nice place. Some years
ago my friend and I visited and he actually was able to buy a crank
shaft (lower end?) for a 1933 Austin 7...they had it sitting around!
