I was talking to the Mrs grandmother yesterday who told me they used to have a Pace. It was too big and heavy so sat in the garage unused for years then eventually got traded in. Not even the bloke at the mower shop wanted it because it was so big and heavy. It's a crying shame they didn't leave it in the garage until I came along.
I also noticed an old spanner like the one Jack posted earlier in this thread but it is unmarked.
Is it possible that the can above came about because Victa and BP had an agreement and Victa owned Pope?
