In August 1912 my Great Grandfather, William Warn drove his 25HP Singer from Lands End to John O'Groats without stopping the engine. His three great grandchildren will try to replicate this in a 1907 Singer owned and driven by Ian North in August 2012.

1907 GETS FAMOUS!
Here are the newspaper pictures and article that appeared today in The Scotsman and the Scottish Daily Mail. 1907 is getting so keen on all this attention that when BBC Scotland got in touch, a TV appearance was inevitable! So interviews were had with Ian, Steve and myself. But you will just have to take my word for it, as if you don't live in Scotland you won't see the broadcast at 6.30 tonight.
