ok now thats pretty a pretty impressive set of photos right there none of those photos are any that I had ever seen before, even a new Registration block for me smack the DVLA around the head with :) (although ill let yall try and figure out which block it is that is new to me! I have talked about every block/examples from every block bar the new one of course, in my thread so the info is there to figure it out, well you have until i post about the new block later today anyhow LOL)

and even a Reverse Control AC Acedes Mk14 which is only the 2nd example I seen thus far :) 

mind if I ask where they where they where found/if ya got a link? Id like to save the originals for my archive free of any forum compression etc :)

Its  https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/    LBF, its not the most intuitive site to use initially, but you work it out quick enough. A lot of the pictures have cars & reg numbers written in the descriptions, & do come up in the searches, which is helpful! (quite a few are wrong, but at least they tried!). 

Be warned, its very addictive, &, if you`re anything like me, very time consuming if you check all the reg numbers on the DOOVLA to see when they were last taxed/last V5 change (I have found a number that are still with us!).

Enjoy! 👍

I know! If you don't know, then I definitely won't! (I fancy your old brown Lada, if you know where that went)

CCG30K Wartburg is taxed until November this year.  DVLA think it is white.  There can't be many Wartburgs around.

People gathering to see the aftermath of a tram accident in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki. The accident took place in 1956 and according to the next day’s news article the passengers were  unharmed.

What's the car centre-stage in the first picture? I'm thinking a Simca, but I'm probably wrong!
