Mr. Oldcastle had to sell Gumdrop, his wonderful vintage car, and his new owners did not look after him very well. He lost his lamps when two burglars stole him, his engine and battery went to run the police cement mixer, his instruments and, in the end, his wheels too.
He was then dumped in a field where a tramp slept in him every night. One day Bill McArran, a vintage car enthusiast, bought him and towed him home. Bill and his wife repaired him and eventually he was able to get back all the bits that were missing and won first prize in the vintage car rally.
