Enjoyed an 88 mile rumble around the countryside via as many back roads as I could find in the old +8, on what was a wonderful weather day for exactly such a pastime.. (-:

While bumbling along I came on an opening on what was a very large country estate wall which had at one time provided access to that which would likely have been the tied cottage and woodsman`s workshop housing a very old saw bench...now all derelict. Remembering just the other rambling on to OZ relative to the evolution of old cars as they reached the end of their design life, their chassis and drive trains being turned to a more practical use by way of saw benches etc.etc.etc, then rediscovered and being restored to possible concours winners...(-: Thus thought to grab a pic of the big old circular saw drive motor and bench.... Unfortunately not a Bentley or Bugatti Royale chassis in use for the bench, just a couple off very stout timbers...(-:
Looks like before the electric motor there may have been a belt drive system in use, given the pulley and shafting mounted on the far wall...?

BTW, just thought to add that the last Bugatti Royale was discovered a few decades back in a large old house with a tumbledown garage no more than a couple of miles or so from where I live...(-:
