LETTERS
In the early 1960s my main interest was in two wheeled transport, but family reasons meant I needed to search for a car. With little mechanical knowledge and even less money, a scan of the classified ads in the produced a possibility. It was a 1955 Fiat 1100 in good condition for £18. Having rung the seller and been assured that the car was well worth a look, I arrived at the address earlier than planned to find him hastily pop riveting a sheet of tin overquote of £60 for a new starter motor, the car was scrapped.
