[Healeys] smell of old cars

[Neil McDonald]

In Europe it was Castrol R. The brand was Castrol and R stood for racing.
Wonderful fragrance. I was so enthralled with it that I mixed it with
petrol/gas to run my two stroke Vespa scooter. Didn’t go any faster but
sure smelt good - although I don’t recall it attracting any girls, pretty
or otherwise!
