Ainsdale, tax expires 31/1/79 so I guess this lot expired in the summer of 1978.

I had to look this one up - a 1968 Quasar Unipower designed by French-Vietnamese designer Quasar Khanh it used BMC 1100 running gear with the engine in the back. 15 made, 13 sold in France, 2 in the UK. And at least one has survived - looks French. Soz not B&W...

I didn't know that was a Unipower. They also made these, which were a bit more sensible.

While I'm deeply impressed with the extensive knowledge of caravan shite - that's the first time Ive seen a proper Mini with a tow-hitch.

I know - sheltered life.

Built in the 1930s. and working until the end of Bournemouth trolleybuses in the 1960s, so must have been operationally necessary, but yes, you would have thought a bit of re-routing  would have avoided it.    I remember seeing it in use.  It is now a listed building!

Norwich Council Municipal Offices, on Market Place, demolished in 1938 as they stood directly in front of the new City Hall. The right-hand block was originally the Oxford Hotel and was used by the Town Clerk's, City Engineer's and Estate Surveyor's departments (1937 - George Swain).
