THE OLDER VEHICLE SITE
These pages are dedicated to enthusiasts of older cars and motorcycles from the 50’s almost to the present day. I feel also that I must include a section with cycling information, as this wonderful device has been part of my life since I was 5 years old. You might consider it being a lifetime's random jottings, distilled into one location, so there are stories of trips by bike, motorbike and car and the vehicles themselves, including some occasionally useful hints and tips, which I have employed in their restoration. As an Engineer by trade (maybe even by birth!), I have also included information on the workshop equipment which was used for making some of the otherwise unobtainable parts. I hope to continue with the development of the site, as new projects unfold and I get some occasional inspiration. Anything without a link will be added as time permits - so keep trying.
There are sections dealing with Cars, Motorcycles, Bicycles and Engineering.
I hope you find something of interest - Ian Stallard

From The Old Byre
This is hopefully going to be a regular feature centred around our imminent move to another world - quite a distance from our last place of abode. There will be lots of pictures of the new place and the work we are doing on it. Some of our projects should occasionally make an appearance too.
