That 2oz tin of bantams coffee looks like the Humbrol I used to paint my Airfix models with as a lad. And yes I always got glue on the cockpit windows and ruined the kit

I was surprised when he mentioned Hunslet. Did they make the whole vehicle in Leeds or just the engine?

It just says they were built by Hunslet of Leeds Caron. They were knocking out steam and diesel engines to sell around the world like they were going out of fashion. So a little scootercar would have been no problem for them.The history of the cars can be seen herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scootacar

They stopped making it in favour of keeping on with Daddies sauce and have never produced it again sadly.I haven't found a sauce to rival it since.
