I think I should teach you to crop and resize pics ;)

Note the crease on the top right corner has gone... 5 mins of copying and pasting small parts of the photo on top to hid them. Looks better :)

Try a program called ACDSee.  (The old version is free).  You can do wonders with old photos with the click of a few buttons.  Especially good for reviving the colour in old photos. 
My old Isetta from 1980 print - old and enhanced with one automatic 'click' of the mouse.

Version 14 is the latest but you should be able to pick-up version 12 for free and its very good and very easy.

You can do all of that with Windows Live Photo Gallery, usually comes with new computers ;)

Thanks anyway, seems faster than WLPG :)

Lightweight dickie, I don't have "too much" time, I just have not enough to do ;)

Have you got any more information on this one? It seems strange to have made a car with such swoopy lines and yet have that step in the bodywork behind the driver - unless that's a cooling vent or something. This is one of those cars you hope someones still got hidden in a shed somewhere.

the black and white photo i posted here earlier is the egan threewheeler of 1952 - it made a " brief appearance " strange as i have a list of three wheelers that lists an egan of u.s.a. 1952 - surely an odd coincidence .
