  1. Note the registration is the same series of BL press cars, especially the ones used in the New Avengers.

    Barbie's suburban pile!?
  3. Also the similar sized Renault 20 actually had a hatchback.
  4. Supposedly a executive from Ford considered Brown's Lane one of the most primitive car factories he had looked round, certainly for the sort of cars it was making! Cowley was supposed to be a grim place to work, with metal dust in the air & holes in the ceiling!
  5. Sometimes they were known as Pakardbakers! Over time almost all the American manufacturers apart from the Big 3 struggled with the economy of scale with component supplies.
  6. Another sculpture using cars, which sharp eyed viewers might have noticed in Wayne's World.
  7. The oval screen VW Beetle is doing well, being at least 15 years old when this was taken. It looks like it has rear lights from a later Beetle.
  8. Looks early 1950s going by the pre-1956 German number plates. The hubcabs look suspiciously like VW Beetle ones, so maybe someone fitted a custom body onto a Beetle Chassis, there were quite a few one-offs even that early!
  9. I did a similar thing with a Gold Triumph Acclaim someone parked outside my Gran's house unlocked, which was more or less identical to my Gran's, which was usually in the garage. BL keys seemed to be made in a limited number of combinations, my Mum once locked her keys in her Metro & asked to borrow someone else's keys & one of them worked! The older Ford ones were similar, & the tibbe ones had a quirk where a key could lock any lock! The company car pool at the company where my Uncle worked fell foul of this a few times!
  10. A long winded explanation as to why so many Reliants had 6 figure registrations: https://3-wheelers.com/registration.html
  11. I had one of these Corgi Cubs police cars when I was young, along with 2 of the ambulances.
  12. A day or two later he crashed the Maxi in Scotland.
