Thought to post another vid on the GN with the wonderful engine.... Unlike a Morgan... it has a wooden chassis...
My grandmother was a friend of John Alfred Prestwich (JAP), I think in the late 30's and early 40's. My mother, who was born in 1926, remembered being shown through the works when she was a girl. I can't ask her anymore but I am guessing that she would have been at least 13 or 14 so that would put it at about the beginning of the war. She told me that they were building mainly small industrial engines (and perhaps small boat engines) at that time. It must have been quite unusual at that time for a young girl to be shown through such a factory.
