A combined Rolls-Royce and British Leyland dealership. Excellent
I believe the acclaim holds the honour of being the most reliable BL car period , no doubt will corrected on here if I've been misinformed

Trabant 500 on a frozen Lake Balaton at Balatonfüred, Hungarian People's Republic, 1967. I've no idea what it is towing.

Yep, so more reliable than anything BL, as previously posited.

Correct, but lots still didn't want to buy it due to this.

Was a good car though.

I heard that the assembly workers were surprised at how well the pieces fitted together compared to what they were usually putting together.

My Gran had an Acclaim for many years.

I don't want to steal Remspoor's thunder but yes it is - Clifford Tower. The Imps have 'VY' numbers - issued to York from 1928 to the end.

KKP1 a 1948 Bentley Mk6 chassis with a Hooper 'Empress' body still seems to survive. Given at the time it was worth more than two of the houses in the picture in SE London - it would have all been bent back into shape - probably at Hoopers at their Acton works - in Metroland. A very expensive car at the time - given that the owner did not opt for the 'standard steel' body but had a coachbuilt car made.

Here are some outside the factory:

Didn't stop germans buying Dixis or japanese buying various licence-built Hillmans and Austins, evidence suggests most car buyers don't give a shit about such things.
