When i was a kid late 1940s my dad used to arrang for Mr Dyet to drive mum and my brother and me down to my mum's parents in Wotham Kent to stay & then pick us up a week or so later. I can still smell the cracked brown leather upholstery in that shiny black Austin mmm & Mr Dyet always immaculate (on reflection it must have cost a fortune) still the memory is worth every penny
