I was in Derby today with ten minutes to kill. So how about a ‘then and now’?

ca. 1987:

Can’t quite get the same angle as the trees have grown so you can’t stand any further up the bank. Also the original photographer had a better zoom lens than my phone!

Congratulations, the 1987 photo contains a Yugo 45??

Sadly couldn't find a Dacia in the 2019 photo?

I'm gunna stick me neck out and say that the cars in the 2019 picture are almost as colourful as those in 1987.

Only thing is, I cant seem to see any pics on the website, I click on them but there's no pic, just coloured boxes with the description on (using W10 on Google Chrome), anyone else having this issue?

Not all stores have pictures publicly available, some have the boxes with a description of something in the archive but no actual pictures.

Tarzan comes to town; Hezza (then environment secretary) swoops in with a government SD1 nine elms, London, 1982

Look at that SD1 ! 

Not only is it a 6 year old 3500 at a time most Government Car Service cars would have been Ambassadors, it's running Dunlop Denovos on steel rims, something I've never seen outside of an advert. I wonder if this means it's got some form of light armour plating?  The Windows look normal, so probably not.

Cool wing mirrors too, presumably because that was what they'd always specified and in 1976 cars didn't usually have door mirrors.
