That MK1 Granada on the previous page is one of the gorgeous 2dr saloons.

I checked the plate to see if this had survived. Plate says 1964 Mini 850  issued when new

Some incredible stuff being sold gradually on ebay by this seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/lemans_33

This is a single-owner archive of photos taken in London in the 1950s/60 of cars parked up by the side of the road. Analogue spotting. I'm lucky enough to own Nick Georgano's photos from this period, when he was doing the same thing. Surprisingly lots of cars that only one of them managed to snap. It's a shame to see this collection getting split up, but I guess there's a lot more profit in selling individual prints than the whole collection in one go.

I love this trio of diplomatic Taunuses... Taunii?

A Zephyr on wires

And loads of weird shit that even the vendor can't identify, such as this coachbuilt Allard which was deisgned by and built for Michael Eddowes, the lawyer who represented Christine Keeler in the Profumo trial

I remember Lada getting involved with snooker as well. Steve Davis was presented with a Lada on personal plates (SD 147 or SD 165, I think) for winning one event in the early '80s

Memory man. Typical lazy trope  here - https://www.metro.news/fox-on-the-box-teenage-ronnie-a-new-lada-and-the-itv-seven-history-on-cue/1493816/

'...snooker great Steve Davis’ 1982 reward for a maiden TV maximum break of 147 — the keys, and no doubt breakdown cover, for a new Lada car.' sigh

I wonder if he ever drove that Lada? What happened to it in the end?

What Motorway is that, could it be the M6 I wonder?

 

[lesapandre]

I'm not sure of the MWay. I think it is the M1 opening 1959- the debonair chap in the foreground is Ernest Marples Transport Minister I think.
