BACK in May, 1979, motorist Jack Cooper was toasting 21 years of driving his vintage Austin A35.
Mr Cooper bought the car from the Bee Hive Garage, Horwich, in March 1958 and paid £630 when that was equal to a third of the price of an average house. You would get a lot more than an average car for £63,000 these days! If you have a picture you want us to publish, call 01204 537271.
