Thanks for the nice comments everyone - much appreciated here ;)
Following the death of my great friend and confidante Bill, almost the entire contents of his Gower home were left to me.
There was a vast library of transport-related interest, as well as a further library of general interest. Finding good homes for hundreds of publications has been a mammoth task, and I've been quite selective when choosing suitable recipients. I'm confident that he'd be quite happy with my decisions, as here was a most generous person.
A local fledgling transport museum has received a fair quantity, and so have one or two OOFers.
Bill was a big AEC man, and quite a fan of the Omega, so the latter gesture would certainly have met with his approval.
There's also a pair of wartime AEC Matadors to re-home next, so if anyone's up for a challenge please get in touch!
One of 'em is laid-up on his land, and so on what would've been his 87th birthday, we scattered his ashes across those fields where so many happy hours were spent - "working boots" and all!

I'm lucky enough to know a few old boys like Bill & am already amassing automotive collectables that i hope to pass on when i pass on.
Good on you & sympathies for the loss of a well loved friend. Guy.

Great for rummaging, never know what you'll find & you can haggle. Good day out for us saddos!!!! :y

Rumour has it that she's gonna whisper 'Aberystwyth' (as only she can), in your shell-like at Newent J.
Guaranteed that you'll come over all 'melted'. Mrs TB - watch out!
;D ;D ;D
