Mr Fred McArdell who has been poultry farming on the Orkneys for the past 6 years used to
Mr Fred McArdell who has been poultry farming on the Orkneys for the past 6 years used to find quite a lot of time on his hands, so he made himself a motor car. He has made every part himself except the 350cc motor cycle engine and tyres, at a cost of 3 pounds 15 shillings. It cruises at 50 miles an hour and does 65 miles to the gallon. While stationed on the Orkneys during the war Mr McArdell built himself a cottage and after he left the Navy he returned to the Orkneys to fulfill his idea to start a poultry farm. Picture shows Mr McArdell removing the driving wheel before he can get in or out of the. " Its a bit of a nuisance if the engine stalls in traffic? said Mr McArdell.
