A drive into Grimsby - 1987

[Vin]

A bit like the recent driving through Wrexham thread.

 

Here is a similar vid but driving into Grimsby in 1987 It's a MK1 Fiesta I think.

 

 

There are a fair few Fiat Unos. They must have been flying out of Eric Burton's...

It's not that massively different now. The one way system has changed and the shopping centre is roofed in but you can still see mullets! GR45 to see the old cars

[Negative Creep]

I'm guessing there are now endless bus and cycle lanes along with signs every 10 meters?

 

 

Also, filmed from a Metro?

That Dash is deffo a Fiesta 1. The gear pattern on the dash binacle, and the quaterlight windows are a dead giveaway! Shitters porn, featuring a parked FSO that looked brand new too...

[j-j]

Liked, quite a lot of Fiats on the road there - dealer nearby in the 80s? Also: red Lotus Esprit!

Just before the FSO saloon I spotted a late 70s/early 80s Datsun Laurel. Couple of Renault 12s too.

 

I once pulled a girl in a nightclub who came from Grimsby. She told me she was married.

The Grimsby Fiat dealer was Eric Burton. That's were the first owner of my 126 got it from.

 

The dealer stickers simply said - "I'VE GONE FOR A BURTON" -
