ABL999 revisited.

This photo must ring a bell with the 'Morris Garages' inner crowd. To them it may remind of a photo made in December 1936, but is made just days ago. The car in the foreground is a just restored works VA demo car: AMO 602. The second car is ABL 999. Insiders will remember the car in a lighter shade from the original works photo (click). The same photo is showing also ABL 72, the first VA Tourer. Since then a few things have changed and not alone the color of ABL 999. Peter Ratcliff (with S-V-W- fame) just has finished an 'Automatic' conversion, making use of a 'purist' trans of the type that was used on the MGB (click). The conversion was commissioned by Bas de Voogd who - lacking strength in his left leg - reports that the VA Automatic drives like a dream. Applause for Peter! And proof that there's always more in a photo than just a car. (photo Rutger Booy)
