Well it does help! We've got 5 ancient British sports cars (and we won't
mention the Series 1 and 2 Land Rover collection)!

The part we picked up was for an 80+ year old car that we both really enjoy
using. Himself bought it in Brisbane and over 2 and a half days drove it
home to sth eastern NSW and it didn't miss a beat. Half of that drive was
in pouring rain. She's a wonderful old girl and can really lift her skirts
an go when she's asked to do so.
