WELCOME TO NEW CLUB BLOGGERS!

Greetings & welcome if you've found us for the first time, hopefully as a result of the slip I sent out with the magazine.  If this is your first visit, please do leave a comment to tell us what you think of the idea.  This blog site certainly isn't meant as a replacement for our excellent web site, but does offer an easy-access means of quick communication, so I hope it will be well used.
Thank you for visiting - come back again soon - we'll try to keep up to date news on here for you.
Best wishes, Pat Carroll (President & Site Moderator)

Instant communication wins again.

As some club members know I'm into J vans, I've started a Facebook page for these J vans, spreading the word to the Billions of users around the world, about how rare these are and that all should be saved.
Via this medium I "found" an owner with a van in Nz, he passed on all the history of the van before selling everything apart from the body. He has since started to build his own customised chassis and running gear. His project will be on the road in the next few months.
Please with at least finding one previously unknown van I've now "found" two more.
These are in Oz and are now for sale.

Its just a shame I cannot seem to do this in the UK..

Latest Club Magazine on it's way!

The latest edition of your Club magazine, the Christmas edition No. 142, has just been printed, & should be on it's way to you very shortly.  Here's a taster of the excellent cover designed by Editor Bob - hope you enjoy it!

Have you spotted the familiar faces??  (1st clue - many thanks to Roly Turner for the J Type!)

Happy Christmas, from Pat Carroll

1950's Advertisement Re-creation

Some time ago, we came across a period advert for oil I think it was, which featured a Wolseley 4/50.
We tracked down the location to a bridge in Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds, so when the Club had a rally not far away at Fosseway Farm near Moreton in Marsh, we went along to try to recreate the shot.  Here's the original plus one of my 4/50 hopefully in the same spot!

 

Early one morning.

Let's get started!

Welcome to the official blog page for The 6/80 & MO Club!  This is my very first blog site, so it's a bit basic at the moment, but I'm sure it will develop & mature as I learn more about how to use it.
Anyway, here's the start, with a picture of me & my 4/50 to kick off:
