Apparently CDB 329T is a Super; CDB was a Manchester combination and has lots of Robins in a batch for 32xT - they must have been in heavy demand for taking the whippet along for the weekly black pudding buying ceremony. Or something.

As the Reliant was built in Staffordshire, which is God's own county despite what any Yorkshiremen might say, it is necessary to point out that the Whippet did not figure in the design spec. It was more a case of fitting the bull terrier in with the oatcakes. Anyway the Whippet was a Willys-Overland design. -- Last edit: 2014-04-25 09:27:07 |

I run the occasional gauntlet of the M25 to supply that part of the family which relocated to Sussex. |
