Daddy REALLY likes Rallyes. His is the original - crashed, straightened, and I forget how many new engines it's had in Daddy's ownership.
Daddy's Rallye is also pretty personalised. Daddy's seat is set in the rear footwell to give him room for his long legs. I can't even reach the pedals when I sit in it!
When we have been able to snatch the time, we have been visiting Daddy's rallye in its secret restoration lair to rebuild it, part by part. It is due to relaunch this year, in aid of a charity fundraiser. Daddy will be taking a lucky guest on a track day in it to raise money in an "auction of promises" for charity.
Daddy's Rallye already has charity pedigree, having undertaken various trips raising money, including Lands End to John-O'Groats, and a trip on the continent back to the Rallye factory.
It's a long way off being able to drive it yet - it doesn't have brakes, a petrol tank, a rear beam, seats, a dashboard, lights etc etc at the minute. But one day soon, it will be roaring round the B-roads and track circuits again!
