I've a copy of this very "Autocar" magazine, which includes the report of the run. Fascinating to read and a superb example of how "have a go" guys used to tackle what would appear to today's audience to be insuperable obstacles!

This is a good read. Had the book since I was a boy.

There’s so much to like in this image of pre gentrification Britain, the street lamps, gas holder and what looks like a few prefab homes..

Good spot. I had a LHD estate, in yellow with rust spots that looked like bullet holes. Went like fuck tho, better than it should for a 1.3

What’s that in the right hand section between the Chrysler Alpine and the Citroen Ami?

[ChinaTom]

Opel 1900 / GT?

Marcos?

Definitely an Opel GT and parked next to an Ami Super! Noteworthy that there is only one Daf in this Netherlands car park.

A superb photo.

Reminds me of Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain, 3rd Baron Brocket who did time in the 90's for just such an insurance scam.

Reinvented himself after doing time as a TV personality - hosted the ITV game show 'Scream! If You Want to Get Off' and presented 'Privates Exposed' a behind-the-scenes programme for Lads Army, on ITV2. In 2017, Brocket was featured in an episode of 'Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away'.

So as you can see crime doesn't pay 😂

Good write up of the Lord Brocket story here

Cold Case File. What happened to Lord Brockets missing cars? (linkedin.com)

WTF is that in front of the Moggy in pic 2 ? Looks like a bloke sitting on something with at least one wheel.

I think the bloke's on a pushbike behind a trailer or handcart

Looks like a window cleaner and his ladders on a "side car" frame

He's still a cunt though, so swings and roundabouts.

Times Square, 1955.

Traffic chaos in Richmond. What they need is plenty of white lines and many many road signs.

The Magpie and Stump, Old Bailey, 1948. Police Wolesely outside.

The Magpie and Stump Pub has been in existence on the same site for over 300 years. Across the road stood Newgate Prison, which remained in use for over 700 years, from 1188 to 1902. When public executions moved from Tyburn to the street outside Newgate Prison in 1783 crowds thronged to watch. The orginal pub survived the blitz and was pulled down in 1983 to be replaced by this -
