Swaps and exchanges

Over the years that I have owned PUW6F, I have frequently been offered all manner of swaps and deals in exchange for the car.

Some of these ‘swaps’ I dare not put down in writing and with a few of them it did not mean me losing the car…..

Terry Windle the ex-sidecar racer and frame builder offered his nearly new mustard-yellow Jaguar XJ6 as a direct swap for the car in 1976. Yellow was not my colour.

Ali Taefi an Iranian postgraduate student offered his brand new metallic blue Datsun 260Z in 1979. As part of the deal he also offered to find me ‘a decent wife’ who would also be wealthy. The ‘decent wife’ sounded attractive, but I guess I didn't need the money bad enough.

In 1980 the owner of the Victoria Wine Bar on Ecclesall Road offered to swap me his considerably newer gold coloured Rolls Royce Silver Cloud for the car. I could not imagine myself in such an old man’s car.

Clearly I resisted the last three examples and continue to look after the old girl.
