Go Moggie, go!
p. Another classic “‘Salvage Squad’ (Salvage Squad)”:http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/salvagesquad/machines/thisweek.html tonight: they were renovating a 1930’s Super Sports Morgan. This is was a lovely speedy little three-wheeler racing car, with a 1000cc motorcycle engine and a wood and aluminium frame. The owner, Iris, was a fantastic character: a 78 year old woman who is crazy about fast old cars and bikes. At the start of the programme we saw her zipping along — sans helmet — on a vintage Norton motorcycle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone riding a bike in such an elegant manner. She wanted the old “Moggie” (as she called it) restored for her, her daughter and her granddaughter to drive.
