always wondered what make - assumed something like an Austin 7,
think Rattletrap is there mainly for comic possibilities of
Mrs.Blackett's poor driving - seem to recall mother of someone in
Evelyn Waugh book driving small Austin car badly (down steps into
underground station). I'm also desperate to know what small motorcycle
(The Monster) AR owned whilst living at The Heald.
