PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES - Chat for weekly comp (14th Jan - 22nd Feb)

Here's mine - Powerrrrrrrr!



This is a car that regularly turns up at the local car club meetings, although on this occasion it was at an auto jumble. It's a boat tailed Bignan, rare and only made between 1919 and 1926 by M. Bignan, the company then limping on until finally closing in 1931. Clearly owned by someone who both cares about it and has a sense of humour, I decided to enter it for the juxtaposition of the 1920s and Mr Clarkson. This particular car is has the race engine with desmodromic valves and 70bhp. Might not seem a lot, but it was back in the day . .

The right hand sticker should, of course, read "I don't always drive slowly, but when I do, it's still faster than James May!"

So I have entered 'The Little One'
