@NSE_Latchmere Great article in the Hornby magazine, a magazine I rarely buy. The online posts are so realistic and the detailing on the buildings and scenery - magnificent!

@The_East_End The Spaghetti House on the corner, Skoob's 2nd hand bookshop, and there was a little menswear shop as well always displaying a range of Ben Sherman shirts

@nickbro76777852 @RPMarks I think it made it to a Guardian article. it was 'Edward' in First Class and 'Eddie' in Second Class. Still excellent murals though.

@addict_car Had a hardback book which went into all the development of this model and how the first show model was finished in a Chinese laquer red rather than the usual silver. Alas, another book culled when I downsized my book collection

@thecarfactoids That was amazing! Thank you for the research and posting of this. Took me back to my dad's FD Victor 1600 in Burgundy with a bench seat and column change and I even remembered the list price - £819 bought from Watsons in Gt. Yarmouth who were the Vauxhall main dealers.

@motoringguruUK Those on the Porsche 928 were an odd shape as well - a bit Ford Popular(ish)?

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @PracticalClass but that tag line - "The power to express yourself" Better than "Ultimate Driving Machine"?

@addict_car Saw a magnificent white restored one on Saturday at a local Classic car show, it's first owner had been Raymond Briggs!

@addict_car There was a bookshop in Cambridge called Galloway & Porter who, 25+ years ago, had a remaindered copy of the hardback book which traced the development of the Lotus Carlton. Think it was under 20 quid and I kick myself for not buying it at the time

@ChrisGoffey I was always impressed by the Fiat Stilo, it had the same thunk as shutting the door of a bullion vault

[paul @parg54]

@C20Society I'm sure that's the poster I've got, bought when the gallery opened

[paul @parg54]

@OldLondonW14 Was that on the corner of Percy St. opposite Rowney's art materials shop and Charlotte St.? - does anybody remember L'Etoile which was the (expensive) French restaurant round the corner? I'm going back to around 1978

[paul @parg54]

@davided41633250 @OldLondonW14 It was. After it closed I think the site was redeveloped and a hotel built on the site and a branch of the Spaghetti House

A load of bathrobes and slippers seem to have gone missing from Chevening when Liz Truss was using it: classy.

I’ve woken up feeling sad. I love what I do but it’s not easy being a tiny business at the moment.

Have a look at my website and please retweet to help me spread the word.

@ThePollitt @DiecastAddicts I keep mine in an old bank safety deposit box.....

@mod_in_metro Barcelona chairs in the lobby and a Fitch designed staff restaurant in the basement

[paul @parg54]

@RexKram55112378 @RPMarks Yes, I remember that debate about the graphic being signed 'Eddie' or 'Edward' depending on the class you were in. Appropriate post as last week was the demise of the 'Paperchase' chain of shops which he was involved from their inception.
