If cars could talk...

... they'd have some impressive stories to tell. 

🚗 A trip back in time... Curious about his 1933 Austin Saloon's history, owner Carl Slater spent months scouring record books to find all of the car's previous owners. After a year of planning, he and his wife set out on a roadtrip to reunite the vehicle with each one of them. 

  • They started by visiting the cottage of the car's first owner, Elizabeth Morris, who passed away in 1943. 
  • Continuing on their journey, Carl and his wife met two more of the car's owners before finishing the trip with Rupert Bevan, who bought the car in 1968. 
  • Rupert's mom (pictured above) was always a fan of the classic vehicle. "l will never forget the look of surprise and joy on her face at seeing the old car again," Rupert shared of his 97-year-old mother.

😮 What a journey: Before Carl bought the car last year, it was also featured in the 2016 film Dad’s Army (starring the great Catherine Zeta-Jones).
