Haha!! You mean 'Peeping Tom' watching lady Godiva... it's still there!! The Hotel Leofric sadly is now a Travelodge!! Sign of the times I'm afraid...Coventry used to be the centre of the car industry... we have very little industry here now :( and the City reflects that!!! The Hotel Leofric used to be a first class hotel!

Hello Izy, Hilary is worried that your stash might be seriously depleted after finishing your scrappy wonder. Hello Hilary - be warned Ebay can be addictive - not that I'm complaining, that's where I've got most of my fabulous machines.

The clock is on a bridge in the city centre. On the hour a NAKED Lady Godiva riding a white horse comes out and 'peeping tom' appears at a window above!!

Oh by the way, I found your videos fascinating on utube, especially as both Hilary and I are now the proud owners of our very own little vintage machines thanks to ebay! :thumbup:
