sheffcortinacentre Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Think the consul/Granada has had a headlight fire rather than an engine fire judging by the damage being in both front corners rather than more central on the bonnet.

Lord Sterling Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 J Sainsbury Blackheath, West Midlands, 1997; Rover 800! Seemingly chasing a Maestro Van: Very little has changed since these were taken. In fact, up until around 10/12 years ago, both store and petrol station still displayed "J" Sainsbury. I pass this store regularly, on fact I passed it earlier on this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Imp in blue and yellow is now in her late 60’s and is called Heather Mutton and lived at number 3 on our cul de sac. I remember being dragged around this store as a young child. She would have been walking back to an orange/red Renault 5. Simon M, Eddie Honda, Skizzer and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a kwik save in the early nineties when my Grandad used to take my mum shopping in his Montego as I can remember getting weighed down with shopping during school holidays.

Both the small car from Datsun and the fruit. Brazen Gate, central Norwich 1989. Built on the site of Victoria Station which was closed down by Dr. Beeching in the 1960s. Coincidentally I vaguely recall seeing that beige Cortina around the city, possibly in the 1990s. 2CV6 Charleston in the background and a colour coded phase 2 Renault 11 (Broadway?). richbraith, HMC and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
