Dorset:
I’m sure he changed the name on the door of the f88 to read DG Corbin instead of DG Furnell and apart from the phone number he left the rest of the sign writing as it was because it says European Traction Poole Dorset England.He must of been having a tight moment,the only man I knew who had a double headed coin!
I haven’t a lot of pictures they have all been lost unfortunatly.
Thanks for the comments “Dorset” “Double headed coin”
Have to say hes probably the shrewdest man we will ever have known in our lives,he could make serious money. Remember when
he bought the frag machine from the Liverpool scrap yard. Early 80’s and cost 1 million from memory.

When you look at the pics from the 70s/80’s its surprising how many drivers did wear a tie.
