The Waggon hasn’t been taxed since ‘83 but a new V5 was issued 2009 so probably still around. Note the chap sat on the tarp behind the driver.

Still around and still on pneumatics. I've never seen it and there are few photos.

That lad has some good stuff on his photostream. Another super tractor that is still with us.

Now lives in the Museum of Liverpool I believe. Actually, it's a plug ugly thing and I suspect the jury rigged front axle means it steers like a pig so it can jolly well stay in the museum.

They used to have quite a few old tractor units (circa 50's I think) still in use on local steel runs in the 90's & where based just of the south bound end of J34 of the M1.

There's a picture of an Escort RS Cosworth in the petrol station booth, so 1992 or later. Which would make the Datsun 120Y at least 15 years old at the time, a fairly good lifespan for a 1970s Jap!

This picture is perfectly representative for that time imo. Opels everywhere, and things with high roofs were vans and the occassional 4x4, the latter wasn't really a posh lifestyle icon yet, and was usually owned by someone who truly needed one.
