Because it was built by a certain Mr. Treacy. Originally white with a yellow T on the doors before getting the Ed Wimble paint job.

Had the good fortune to get a ride out in the Pop with Mickey Bray. Mickey was still building "Pinball Wizard" at the time and he was using Barrys Pop. I've also been lucky to have known the painter for over 45 years.

Do you know, I don't remember, it was over 40 years ago and I've slept a couple of times since then!! Things that stick in my mind from then, It was wet and the little 273 Mopar was plenty enough horse power for that day. Probably did about 10 or 15 miles around Cheam, Ewell and Epsom.

I've always been fascinated by Pops that have the driving position that far back -they must be an absolute nightmare to drive!
