    Early 1931 Victoria leatherback

    Early 1931 Victoria leatherback. Is there a bustle in your hedgerow? (Okay, that might be a bit too obscure a reference.) My father bought this car in the mid-1960s and had it at least partially restored in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Ms. Vicky was kept in a barn and was driven once a...

    FrankenVicky

    Hello, all - An absolute newbie here. Last weekend I took delivery of my father's Victoria. It was worked on a bit back in the 1970s when the car was forty years old. Well, another 40 years later, she could stand a complete re-restoration. Allegedly a 1931 model. But, the engine is a...
