1970:- 45 years ago

[Albert Ross]

This is a December 1970. It's been in my daily use since 2008.

These were all great years from an era we'll never see again.

 

1969 - seeing your first XJ6 and hearing Space Oddity for the first time, going to a Fleetwood Mac gig with Peter Green on top form, watching the first moon landing on a colour GEC telly. Great days indeed.

 

 

2015 - seeing the new 3 Series and hearing something by Lady Gaga, going to an X Factor live show. And...........er.....................  yeah, right. Wall to wall shit and mediocrity.

Our Herald was built within the last couple of weeks of production of 1200s in June '70.  It sat in a showroom until early '71 though, which is hardly surprising.

 

 

(Awaits number plate fanatacists to complain about black/silver on a J)

 

Nowt wrong with those plates at all. 1973 was the cut off.

You can almost HEAR the corrosion!

 

 

It never made it off the beach, y'know - all that remains is a small lump of fused alloy where the engine used to be.  Even glass rusts on Planet Fiat 1970...

On the day of the moon landings, I was on a Qantas 707 heading for Bermuda. I lived there for 2-3 years.. we had a Karmann Ghia, PO143. It was light blue. We then moved to Mauritius in 1974 after a short stint in the UK. There, we had a Toyota 1000. No idea of the reg number
