Default 'tis the season, (for a little distraction)

I'm feeling a bit guilty of late for not posting, partly because I've been a busy' scratchin around in places "dark" and foreboding,(more on that later), so I thought I would share a few pictures of a wee little "trinket" me da picked up when he was scratchin around in the dark, many moons ago,,, when me paw went to pastures anew a few summers back, The "keeper" became my brother in law, he saw fit to give'er a bit ow auld sphit and elbow grasch, attached are the results of much rubbin and scrapin, enjoy,

(mods feel free to do what you will in a couple of days but for the time being, have a heart)

Dan: From the last photos it is obviously a Bentley, but in the very first pic it looks a lot like a "Rollscanhardly".

"She" is a 1924 Bentley 3 liter with smiths water jacket carb, it will be fitted with a boat tail body (I think) when finished, it was purchased by my father in the sixties for 200 Irish pounds, I believe its worth that and a bit more now,
