I had to google to see an Austin A30. It doesn't look the best. The one i've pictured looks like it was painted in army colours. I was suppose it drove like a sack of potatoes lol.

Remember my mum getting one back in 1963. It was old then! We went out in it to be given the command on a steep hill, 'everyone in the back get out and walk' (up to the top of the hill). In fact it did make it before we had to walk, but only just.

I used to make Airfix aeroplanes and such as a kid, i didn't know you could buy and build your very own Wallace and Grommit van

That looks wonderful.
I shall have to fight myself not to get one of those, as it'll just gather dust.
I'm currently sleeping under a Wallace & Gromit duvet cover, and matching pillowcase. Wake up and smile, every day. Duvet cover has the flying sidecar on it, pillow covered with multiple sheep.

Didn’t Wallace and Gromit have an Austin A30 van ?

Around the mid 70s an old mechanic where I was had a clean Austin A35 Estate version.

I used to make them and then set fire to them and crash them into the bath full of water, my mum put up with a lot.

I really want a Wallace and Gromit Van. Badly!

Im watch Wheeler Dealers and have really had my fuse lit to get hold of a soft top car. Thinking of which I woud rather use on a summer day, the soft top or the Panda made me smile. Nope, I dont need a soft top. I will just open the windows.

But does anyone know anywhere that fits sunrooves these days. I am not getting anywhere in my search.

You can still get sunroofs fitted, but it seems that it’s local auto-glass specialists that do them tether than the big name auto-glaziers.
If you’re confident, you could always but one and fit yourself

I have done one before. Its an easy job with the right tool, but so far I have just not found a supplier. I fancy a Hollandia Electric tilt and slide. there may be a place in Ipswich, but Im not authorised to go there. The war is not over!

GOOD NEWS!! No not Dacia Sandero, but my workshop book arrived and its really comprehensive. Slight downside is I now need to learn italian.... Worth 10E for the pictures alone. It seems to cover everything in some detail.
