Austat Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 RIP Dennis Waterman, one of my TV heroes as a kid. Loved watching the old Flying Squad when I was younger with my Dad, great memories those. Dad fondly remembers seeing the series back in the 70's on Thames, a great bit of nostalgia for him as my Grandad had a Ford Consul when it first aired. Absolutely gutted to hear the news today.

And in much of Finland winters are cold and dry which helps with rust. georgeinabz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-MoT days when a lot of really old cars hung on Post-War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the sort of lighting allowed in war time? I think pic is post war but obviously some people used the same car and never changed the lights .

Weren't they called "pass lights"? They were meant to illuminate the kerb for about 50 yards in front of the car. I'm not sure about this, but when I was a child (early 1960s) I vaguely remember 'buses having these large lamps mounted low down and on the near-side, angled towards the kerb.

No idea what model - never seen that trim on the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
