    About this ebook

    ‘ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS!’

    Paddington read on the glossy leaflet showing a large, sleek, silver-grey car. It took him a long time to eat fifteen packets of currants in order to enter the competition. And the Rolls-Royce he’d expected to win turned out to be one of ten thousand consolation prizes – a bookmark!

    Then Paddington finds himself taking a driving test and, much to his amazement, is presented with a license allowing him to drive a rather unusual vehicle.

      Dear Classic American, Saturday, October 2 saw heavy rain and gale force winds in normally sunny Eastbourne. My neighbour’s 1950 Buick 8 had a lucky escape when an old walnut tree blew over and missed it by inches. The Mazda close by wasn’t so lucky.
