He's a lot further north than he's used to, and probably soaked to the skin.

Flasher macs and a 69 tram; the subliminal messages are there!

Those Victors are perilously close to the sea, you can almost hear the fizzing starting. Is that an Austin/Nash Metropolitan being lifted in the background?

(at least the car is in b&w)

I love the good old days when footballers had to peddle stuff like this for drinking money.

I recall reading an old Shoot annual from the 80s which had a feature on promising young footballer Peter Beardsley. He was driving a Renault 11, which the local dealership had supplied, presumably gratis as it had the dealer's name in two foot high letters on either side.

I think Ford supplied Cortinas to the 1966 World Cup squad.

The Vauxhall was massively sucessful - 380,000 sold in all.

I remember them in the 1960's - Mr Millar who lived next door had one. Very rusty - this would be about 1967. The chrome went particularly badly. But in an era when cars were only expected to get to 10yo I'm not sure it really mattered - it was still in use. The estate car was particularly nice.

They were exported to the USA too.
