De Selby Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 North Welsh shiters might recognise this scene. Yes, I'm originally from Wrexham. The Land Rover takes me back. Up till the 90s you could count on at seeing at least one on market day, usually being piloted by a crusty looking bachelor sheep farmer from the hills out of town. Sad to say both the sheep farmers and their vehicles have died out now! Cavcraft, Dyslexic Viking, MiniMinorMk3 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGC433W was registered in August 1980. Flush headlights were introduced in September 1979, so it's certainly pretty late to have the previous type. DVLA think it's green! Untaxed since December 1993, but last V5 issued April 1994. Shite Ron and Wibble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes products probably supplied by Stout Brothers. My dad had two Avengers and an Alpine from them. And then after a 5-year penance with BL, six Peugeots!

EML Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 @High Jetter That was a local department store called Lawson & Stockdale who had two branches in Grimsby. One on Cleethorpe Rd and the other in Grimsby town centre on Victoria st. Marks n Sparks is on the former premises, And strangely I know of 2 Les Smith's father and son, no shops though High Jetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
