This was taken in 1965, before Basils run in with a non co-operative BMC product. Perhaps 'hit it with a stick' was part of a fault tracing chart in all their products.

Any ideas on the backstory on this one? Cornish registration - intrigued...

Sorry, nothing more than it was taken in 1965. The internet is not all knowing apparently.

But talking of Cornwall...

The 1 star luxury of the Driftwood Spars Hotel, St Agnes. Looks like St Agnes herself is proudly displaying a 1300 FWD Trumpet (I stand to be corrected on either the type of saint or car).

Was Norway like Ireland with American taxis being quite popular up to the 50s?

Yes they were popular here too, but here it lasted a little longer until the 1960s. And was still some in use the 70's and 80's also.

I doubt the thin sheet of steel it replaced would have done much better.
