First weekend in a posh hotel. Maybe it was Easter. First sight of a Jowett Javelin, only just launched so it was 1948 or 1949. First grown-up kiss with intent. First camera, first pictures of cars at Peebles Hydro. Well-off clientele had Jaguars, Standard Vanguards and elegant upright “razer-edge” Triumph 1800s as they were before 1949.
