Jeff Miller driving a strange car outside Orkney Builders block hangar at Hatston.

I think, although I may well be wrong, that this car may have eventually became a kind of made up Model T Ford. When complete, assuming that this is the same vehicle, I last saw this a few years ago at Manse Road Motors. But I'm sure that Jeff will keep us right on this! Still, interesting in these days of endless lookalike Euroboxes!

The Orkney Builders block hanger at one time was where the late Bill (Blocky) Johnstone made cement blocks - (late 40s and thereafter for many years). Bill was one of those men who could turn his hand to anything and in his spare time he built a car from scratch! I'm sure this vehicle could have been his handywork. Sadly, Bill's son, Reynold, is no longer with us to keep us informed.
