A car we featured in an 80-year-old picture is still on the road.

Sydney Nobby' Clark was astonished by the response he received from readers after the photograph appeared (Memory Lane, May 12).

He had sent in the picture of the Model T Ford, taken outside the Killingworth Castle pub at Wootton, near Woodstock, in the late 1920s.

In and around the car were village schoolmaster Mr Harrison, Woodstock newsagent Sammy Cowell, pub landlord Mr Heath and one unidentified man.

Mr Clark, of Walton Well Road, Oxford, writes: "The response has been amazing - calls from old schoolmates, the great grandson of the driver, and from Peter Scarsbrook, to say he was the present owner of the car.

"He told me it was still roadworthy and ready to go and invited me for a ride.

"He suggested the Killingworth, and I was delighted to accept.

"We waited for a fine day - June 4. Peter wound it up and off we went to the Killingworth, a journey to be remembered."

Mr Scarsbrook, of Bladon, tells me he found the remains of the car in a barn at Wootton, and used his skills he learned at the Pressed Steel car body factory at Cowley to restore it 40 years ago.

The car, built in 1915, passed its MoT test last week!
