Just a regular B&W photo of a '63 Galaxie with a MK2 Cortina in the background, until you realise where they are:

Cortina with FD Victor headlights and grille? WTF??  Others have Mk1 Capri lights and indicators.

It's the 1969 Crayford model line up, the first year Crayford started Essex V6 conversions.

One of those Crayford Cortina Mk2s features in the Old fools & Horses episode Go West Young Man.

Ironically if Delboy had kept it for 30 years it would have been a nice little earner.

Thanks I've checked out the registrations on these, here's the full set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/richard16378/albums/72157714550769772

The Rytecraft was driven around the world in the 1960s, though it had to be taken on the Trans-Siberian express as the Soviet authorities wouldn't allow it to be driven that far.

Nice Album!

I found most of them were no longer on the DVLA site, so only posted the ones I found.
