Electric-window Mini.

Ant chassis look a bit out of line, did they all look like that? Our local council had an orange one just for gardening duties in the park, a 1974 M-reg. Engine and gearbox under a cover in the cab, foam pads to sit on, gearstick right at the back.

Usually occupied by two blokes in donkey jackets.

'You lookin at my bra?'.

Microcar of some sort. Think I have another pic, maybe same car.

'Yer, leave it wiv us, pick it up after 5'

3 salesmen watching the bloke by the Mk2 Consul Zephyr, ready to pounce.

'Dear Practical Motoring, I hear a strange moaning and whistling noise from the top of my Anglia at around 47mph. Could it be haunted?'.

Bonus American car on the right. Not a Tri-Chev, not sure what it is ATM. Riley 1500 looks a bit fucked already. Maybe still around.

'Mum, my ice cream tastes of petrol'.

- 'Oh it's all in your imagination, now eat it all up'.

All interesting. This is the other pic I had, it's in full Technicolour but I don't think anyone will mind as it's Saturday night.

I have a street pic of one of these in the files somewhere, turning left at a busy city junction, but it's probably a well known pic anyway.
