Yes its still used only in the summer though.I bought it from someone at college for spares for another minor in 1990 & decided to rebuild this one instead as it was much better.Its had about 8 owners as well 3 of those from the same family.
I am booked in for Harewood again do you go to any MMOC rallies

Alex, I would like to visit Harewood but I can't because I'm working that weekend. The club has arranged the rally when I've had to work for 3 years running! I'll get there one day, although not dressed up as a cowboy.
I'll let you know when I'm next able to go to a local rally so we can re-unite the cars for a photo.
Cheers, Chris[ This Message was edited by: Chris Morley on 16-05-2002 16:34 ]

TIPPERS were/are a company making number plates; I bought a pair of 'period' plates (1951) from them in 1991 although I they weren't in Southend itself:
G.TIPPER & CO.LTD.,
Sign & Number Plate Manufacturers,
20, Benfleet Rad.,
BENFLEET,
Essex,
Tel: 01702-553225/553228
They covered a wide range of eras and the work was first class. You might want to check on www.yell.com first though, as they might have moved.

I have discovered that the address I offered for Tippers is no longer valid.
However, the following may well be the updated version as it is not too far distant from the last; also, the gentleman there to whom I spoke in 1991 said that he was approaching retirement:
Peter Tipper,
Signmakers,
33, Purdey's Industrial Estate,
Purdey's Way,
ROCHFORD,
Essex,
SS4 1ND Tel: 01702-549830

Update on TIPPER'S number plates:
There is an ad. in the June 2006 issue of CLASSIC & SPORTSCAR:
TIPPER'S VINTAGE PLATES,
33, Purdey's Way.
Rochford,
Essex,
SS4 1ND 01702-549830 fax: 549831.
The Company was started in 1932 and offers eight styles of plates from 1894 onwards. It appears that Mr. Tipper (senior) runs this side of the business, while the modern aspects are covered separately within the same premises.
