And I used to catch that bus (well, not that bus, but the same route number!) It's the Barnet Church to Walthamstow Central route! This picture is taken at the junction of Fitzjohn Avenue and Barnet High Street. The shop on the corner later became a motor factors, and they subsequently moved opposite. My wife grew up in Fitzjohn Avenue-No. 46, to be precise! Thanks for the picture, it's really brought back some memories!

I've seen this before, it seems to have been a yard that specialised in commercial vehicles.

Tewkesbury High St. 

Warners are now selling Citroens but on the edge of town rather than in the centre. What is the car?

 

Hotel parking. The Royal Hop Pole is now a Witherspoons and there are drinking tables where the cars are parked.

Rail access to the wharf.

 

 

Even when new , that 107” Land Rover and Oxford MO van must have been quite rare.

I had to look MO van up, I just assumed it was a Minor. I need more Morris knowledge.

It reminds me of "Carry On, Cabby", where Hattie Jacques goes into the local Ford dealer and, after checking over the Cortinas on display, says, "great, I'll take fifteen." The salesman promptly faints!

Would love to see some more photos of this ADO28 4 door fastback prototype:

Were the TT plates the white on red tax exempt plates for cars that had to be exported to maintain purchase tax exemption? I can remember my Dad buying a Renault Dauphine that one of his work colleagues had brought over to England in the 50s.
