Junkman Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 They bought split-screen Minors, though, bless'em..... That was that gahdam Democrat again. But we'll catch him sooner or later. mercrocker 1
Spottedlaurel Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Some rather ham-fisted colourisationising going on here (but it is Gt Yarmouth): Great Yarmouth old postcard '1971' by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr The Minor Traveller has ended up with a rather curious colour scheme. The '7' on the right looks a little dubious too...... Looks like the postcard publishers were still at it in the 1980s: The Promenade, Rhos-on-Sea old postcard 1980s C.1579 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr For the sake of completeness, another one of Rhos-on-Sea. The Promenade, Rhos-on-Sea old postcard 1980s C.1578 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr This is actually pretty interesting, not so much for the Audi 100 Coupe (unusual sight as it may have been) but for the Datsun by the bus stop which is remarkably still around: 1979 Datsun 140J (A10) 2006 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Junkman, inconsistant, hennabm and 12 others 15
mercrocker Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Only a true shiter recognises a car thirty five years after it appeared on a discarded seaside postcard..... Brilliant! On another subject, that Mk1 Escort is almost certainly wearing a "Cust-O-Magic" side stripe - pre cut from quality* vinyl and available for popular models. I can remember the small ads in Car Mechanics and Hot Car! Spottedlaurel, oldcars, Junkman and 1 other 4
UltraWomble Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Some rather ham-fisted colourisationising going on here (but it is Gt Yarmouth): Great Yarmouth old postcard '1971' by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Oh My Fooking GODIve just had a flashback ( and not a nice one) to Shearings coach holidays with the grandparents back in the 1970's to Gt Yarmouth and that ruddy clock. oldcars 1

UltraWomble Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 What coaches did Shearings use then? Was it the Plaxton Paramount?Good God, nothing so luxurious - Plaxton Panorama's based on some old Leyland underpinnings if my memory of the wheels was anything to go by.
Spottedlaurel Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 On another subject, that Mk1 Escort is almost certainly wearing a "Cust-O-Magic" side stripe - pre cut from quality* vinyl and available for popular models. I can remember the small ads in Car Mechanics and Hot Car! There was me thinking it was a genuine sporty model...... Oh My Fooking GODIve just had a flashback ( and not a nice one) to Shearings coach holidays with the grandparents back in the 1970's to Gt Yarmouth and that ruddy clock. Sorry. Have another view of it (Warning: Contains Freddie 'Parrotface' Davies content)............. Wellington Pier, Gt Yarmouth old postcard (early '70s) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Love the contrast between Mk3 Cortina 2dr and the Pop. Shame I didn't scan this in at a bigger size, but I think all the cars can be identified. This one was sent in August at the end of the long, hot summer of 1976 to Grace from Mrs Bunting with the rather brief message "Lovely here after the storm so hot". mercrocker 1
Junkman Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 I would like to take the liberty to post a couple of the weapons grade shite postcards I have. Warning: Your mind might boggle! dieselassist 1
Junkman Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 In stark contrast, I found this one at Le Mans in this very century! mercrocker 1
Junkman Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 I bought this one in Malta. In a fervour of foresightness completely untypically for me, I also snatched a picture book about Maltese buses at the time.I can't possibly clad in appropriate lyrics how glad I am that I did it. hennabm and mercrocker 2
Junkman Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 This might be moderately interesting for those who are moderately interested in such stuff- an ex RATP TN6C obviously used as a skiers' shuttle in the 1960s. Looks like they had several: Also note the super rare 2CV Week-End in this pic. chaseracer, mercrocker and hennabm 3

Junkman Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 No artificial colours. One. Just a single one. One Golf spoils the VW-freeness of this card. inconsistant, Spottedlaurel, Asimo and 1 other 4
Pillock Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Where's the Golf?Also, is that not an orange Transporter behind the lamppost?
Junkman Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 The Golf is behind the J7 in front of the Philips shop and yes.
Asimo Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 What is the car parked between the Wartburg and the Trabant with bad trimz?
mercrocker Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 What is the car parked between the Wartburg and the Trabant with bad trimz? ZAZ-968 (Zaporozhets "Cossack") Asimo 1
Junkman Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Aldeburgh, Suffuck. How on Earth did BMC manage to go bust? bolognasal spray, Spottedlaurel and lesapandre 3
