One of London's RLH class (looks like RLH4) being exported to the good old US of A. One on the docks as well.

More ManchesterShite, dated 1966/67.  Guess the car following the Vauxhall.

Choose one to drive for an hour, then drive the other for 15mins.

As a kid I really thought these had a Brabham engine straight out of an F1 car, I was very disappointed when I found out it was just a carb or whatever and an extra 5 bhp or so.

Good answer and a fantastic try from NorfolkNWeigh there, so very close but it's not quite the right answer. . . 

(There is a revealer pic).

A nest of Austin Morris ADO16s and Cortinas.

Wait a minute, is that a Riley RM at the back?

Forget the car, just look at that North Western Alexander bodied Fleetline.

Brilliant  stuff really enjoyed going through these, reminds me of when i was a kid in the '70's.

God the 1970's looked grim & grimy. Cool 

Notable how many old cars there are, folk kept stuff going longer as new stuff was expensive & not affordable (no PCP etc). It was the same with everything else too including domestic appliances even clothes etc.

Probably (in some respects) we were more environmentally friendly than today - make do & mend etc rather than just buy new & chuck out the fixable. Although a smoky old HA Viva probably doesn't do too much for the environment does shipping a brand new Hyundai from Korea really help either ?!

Great stuff please keep posting this !
