The green oval is another 54.  It came up from AZ close to 20 years ago and has bounced from one owner to another (8) since then.  Lanny painted it 10 years ago.
Darren did the engine, I did the trans.  It had fake BRMs, it now has Fuchs.

The toaster is a vintage Morphy Richardson.  My grandparents had one that died and was tossed.  My aunt had one and promised it to me, but also to a cousin in Alberta too.  He got it, so I just bought that one on eBay and did a full restoration on it.  Its now in daily use.  Its dated 1949.  Works way better than any modern POS.  A couple of weeks ago an eBay'r from New West tried to sell 5 of them in one auction.  No bids starting at $7.50.   Its just too bad mine doesn't have any family lineage.

I got another one and restored it, then gave it to Alan for a wedding present.  But I don't think Alan is big into toast.
