The '50' at the end of the plate indicates the Normandy coastal department of Manche - at that time it was still legal to literally paint, using a stencil, the registration plate straight onto a vehicle.

Yes it is, and they did make commercial vehicles. There were some of them in Norway and a truck was recently for sale here. I remember when I was a kid there were the remains of a Borgward truck in a closed sawmill we used to play in. Yoss and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 ^^^^ My first thought was 'local beer for local people', so it could be Bolton, or somewhere very near. Looking at the car's reg numbers doesn't help, the A30 or 35 (UXA26) is from that there London and the Angle box behind - 185 (then either O or D or C)ED is Liverpool (Warrington) - not a million miles away. Can't make any more out, Bolton would be BN. I had a look for Magee's Bridge in Bolton, which I guess is a railway bridge - nuffink. And looking at the course of the railway lines in Bolton they all appear to go under bridges, not over... But I did find some interesting B&W shots of Bolton... 'Room on the back for one more' 'Cheeky sod it's only a year old' 'Sorry, come back next year' 1972 Trinity St Railway Station. These three are 'Views from the top of the Bolton Institute of Technology, 1976'. sheffcortinacentre, RayMK, busmansholiday and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'd had a quick snoop but not come up with anything yet. Looks like it's changed a bit in the last 50 odd years (but then, ain't we all!) Moar info and this pic here: https://www.wiganworld.co.uk/album/photo.php?opt=5&id=25137&gallery=Wallgate&offset=80 I hadn't realised Longlife were in operation that early, it is quite surprising there's not more references online about them, or I need to look harder.

LightBulbFun Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 did you know that if you hit 88Mph in a Sinclair C5 much like a DMC12 you will also travel backwards in time (as I am sure @Zelandeth is probably going to find out one of these days either via husky power or accidentally getting hooked onto the back of a speeding BMW/Audi ) Remspoor and martc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
