Vintage Garage Feature on Gaspumpgary's Petrol Pump Globe Collection

A small selection from Gaspumpgary's superb collection showing some of the rarest globes to be found. Gary is always seeking that elusive globe and distance is no object, so much so he often travels the length and breadth of the country to bring that special globe home. His efforts and success are demonstrated by the selection on show here and our thanks go to him for his support in providing us with a glimpse of his collection.
