The late 1950s. When time took a deep breath in preparation for the
next decade to sweep away the old and change everything for ever.
This is a love story of two people who are at the opposite sides of
the old life and ready to come together and play a part in the new.
John Mason, a man determined to step up and away from his one man
business and Flora Ballardine, the fiery laird's daughter. They
meet in London. John to sell a car to the wealthy Freddie
Thompson-Smythe. Flora to spend her 21st birthday with her aunt and
to find a surprise birthday present waiting for her. An evening out
with an escort, the very unpleasant Freddie. The evening ends with
John being the butt of Flora's temper because of her disastrous
time with Freddie. Though drawn to each other they separate not
expecting to meet again, and so commences a love story that weaves
its way in and out of the beautiful wilds of Scotland and the
multicultural industry of Birmingham. Others who play a part in
John and Flora's story are- Mungo Ballardine, the laird of
Clairgowan, Flora's father. He inherited a vast estate and lost it
all apart from Clairgowan House. Elizabeth Montgomery, who left
Scotland because of her infatuation with Mungo, her sister's
husband. Reg Purvis, who met John during their National Service.
Freddie Thompson-Smythe, who became involved in the drug scene of
the times and lost everything because of it. Robert Brown, who
Mungo intended Flora would marry to save Clairgowan House. And
'Simple' Jeannie... Cars play a important part in John and Flora's
story and some of them are-a Javelin-Jupiter, SS-Jaguar SS100, Minx
the Magnificent, Alvis Speed Twenty, and a few more...
