Bfg Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Aside from the first and second world wars it's pretty amazing that Britain / the British survived those years. It all looks positively medieval to me ..and very depressing. I also remember the seemingly endless dull and damp weather and dirty-brick buildings ..as m' Dad's family came from Redditch and I was living in Birmingham during this time. Even Kodacolour Gold all too often seemed like Black and White. I got out to work and live in Warwickshire ..and thereafter went to work in the U.S. where they had sunshine and blue skies ..weird !

artdjones Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's only a fairly small part of Manchester,not the whole place.Applied to Cardiff it would be like basing your entire impression of the place on the strip between East Moors steelworks and Tiger Bay. lesapandre and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the unexpected Sprint Being there , could it be a 2600 coupe ? Not sure about scale though, it looks quite small, the Bertone Guilin has a different tail light design. Sorry @barrett posted at the same time! Just realised if that is 1969 , the oldest that Zepyr could be is 4 yeas old.

This picture should be a lesson to those that insist on putting inappropriate black plates on 70’s cars. This dude has spent a fortune painting and customising his Cortina- racing mirrors, aerial , door bump things and what looks like a parking light or strangely positioned indicator repeater. The icing on the cake ? Reflective number plates. Shite Ron and JeeExEll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
