Skilleter ◊ 2010-03-19 14:05	the Shwiegermutters would not have been sitting there in 1934 though- this is a 1935- 6 model. If ever a 1930's fellow ever did persuade his mother in law to sit there in the rain, perched over the rear wheel, he would have been a braver man than I am. Actually she would have needed to be quite a sprightly mother in law to clamber in there at all.
