And if they panned to the right a bit more they could have photographed some primas being built at Perkins.

My cousin did his apprenticeship there. My grandad worked for APV Baker when they were Baker perkins too, supplied loads of stuff

Streatham 1989.  Action packed scene; VDP metro, xj40, decaying mk2 escorts and mini, plus a body kitted rx7 and a very confused man with a bunch of traffic cones.

Streatham 1989; I’m assuming the snapper had a toyota space cruiser.....

[HMC]

Streatham 1989; under construction. 

L and LX escorts showing trim variations, and a very tired Datsun van that lasted another 18 months before being scrapped.

My 1st work van when I was serving my time was an orange one like that. 2.0 pinto iirc and a 1985 b reg. It didn't half take some hammer, by two wanna 19 year old wannabe boy racers. I remember it getting a new passenger wing fitted and sparyed 2 shades too light. the drivers step also crumbled and was replaced. When it died it was replaced with the newer model transit in blue and also a petrol.

1990 it was, almost 30 years ago ffs!

A few spacecruisers in the Steatham 1989 shots.  Forgot they used to be quite common cars.

[HMC]

@EssDeeWon my logic was that it was the same one - the photographer’s as they were always parked and not driven in the shot but as you say, they could be different silver space cruisers.

Yes quite possibly, I remember silver being a common colour, however you could be right.
