Talking about newspaper !
We have a chap across from us sells a few obscure old motors , has them hanging around forever type of thing .
He had a Sorento 05 plate that needed welding on rear arches , so instead of getting it welded he filled it and undersealed the thing went for MOT and the guy there shoved his finger through it shite job mind .
Brings it to us and asks us to weld it up , my son pulls reams of newspaper out of it , The Chap says dont know whos done that till my son says to him , Mate its got last weeks date on it
Still goes on today obviously.
And yes cardboard was used frequently back in the day of P38
wow some old names there ,
Bet you remember the Simca Engine Tappet Rattle too , was in those talbot things wasn't it if i remember
