    Enfield tried making various similar products at one time, but the prices were unrealistically high - no hope they would compete with commercial firms. Rather like the civilianised Champ that Austin were permitted to sell; hardly anyone bought one, as it did nothing that a Land Rover could not do, and cost considerably more.

    Don't get me started on Land Rovers, or Range Rovers!

    Warren, looks like a good photo size to me. AFAIK, the only options for enlargement are programs like Paint or Photoshop.
