Seek out a place where common passion abounds. With every viewing the emotion of belonging ascends. A vision becomes possible and hope removes despair. That becomes home. Sometimes stepping outside the late afternoon sky appears ominous with dark shapes threatening a storm filled with wind and rain. Return to the sanctuary. Gaze out the window to find shimmering light above the clouds. Another attempt to walk in the open unveils an evening with a peaceful calm. Optics adjust as knowledge and understanding shows the way to beauty and accomplishments. Such is the life of an automobile restorer.

It's largely due to the efforts of Jan that we have such a robust Harrington community today and all owners owe him a massive thank-you. He tirelessly investigated fact from fiction and built a comprehensive archive of everything related to Harringtons, ranging from adverts to restoration guidance over a period of 40 years or more. He was a committed Sunbeam afficionado, Alpines and Tigers as well as Harringtons. We actually met at the first SAOC National at Donington in 1978 but shamefully I didn't remember that until he recently showed me a photo that he had taken of me there
