This photo is titled '25-300 heads south with a train of Vauxhall motors at Warrington in May 1984. Mk1 Astra GTE at the front'. Any explanation why it should be heading south? Both Luton and Ellesmere Port are further south than Warrington. Are all these imports, brought into a dock in the north (eg Liverpool)? But aren't Astras made at Ellesmere?

Nice little discovery from the Coventry Evening Telegraph in 1970. I believe this was the very Isetta my grandad passed both his motorcycle and car driving tests in. He'd sold it by this point but he was certainly shocked to see it on the front page of the local rag a couple of years later!

More like a Farina Van. 1622cc B series, drums all round. More parts bins on wheels. 😁

But isn't the MGB also often referred to, on here at least, as a Cambridge coupe? But yes, I'm sure BMC managed to use as few different parts as possible across their vast range.
