Bubbles the Bullnose Morris

At 85 years old, Bubbles is the genuine article. The factory records indicate that she was supplied initially to a buyer in Caernarfon. Thereafter her history is a complete mystery until she was found in a Welsh forest in 1974, where she was being used to drive a saw off the rear wheel. Following restoration, she returned to the road in 1976, and I bought her in 1990.

Since then, she has carried many marrying couples, some of whom will, by now, be celebrating their 20th anniversary. Now getting older (as am I), I like to treat her a little more gently these days, but if you don't need to cover a great distance (and if you don't want to get anywhere too quickly) she is still up to the task.

What's more, wherever she goes, she makes people smile ... that's her job!
