I've added a new Second Hand Car Showroom to my collection of buildings for sarf London in the 70s.

To celebrate I've put together a bit of a photo story on the blog, Bob down to Yarkshire Gamer to see how the blag went down.

Does the site get blown up in a later scenario; subsequently covered in tarmac and the office put in a portacabin? The music from that show gives me all sorts of nostalgic feelings...

Ok, I've driven all those..:)  Other than the Allegro obviously, you have to have some standards... :D


Now how about a Mark II Jag? And a Ford Escort?
