 Where's the blue car gone?

There's some AI going on there. The route number on the RM coming towards us is weird. Looks like it ends in a 1 but the first bit is random. Also it only has two opening windows upstairs when it should have three. 

The bus going the other way appears to be carrying a version of this advert. 

That was carried by RM 8 when it was being used by LT for promotional use. I don't think it carried it in service. For a start RM 8 didn't enter normal service until about 1978 as it was kept by Chiswick for testing modifications.

You'd want that Continental GT on a 6-wheel car trailer ideally.

Using it to trailer the modern one is what my son would call "a boss move".

Like the Ford Pop. My Dad had one but in grey. Think the colour choice was only slightly more than for a model T. White, Grey and Black. 
Ours had wing mirrors but I don’t think it was a deluxe model as the heater was an optional extra.

In the 70's I aquired  for £10, a  1961 107E, these were fitted with a 997 over head valve motor and four speed box. It had a short mot and needed a bit of bodywork and the motor was knackered, the interior was mint and it drove well. Never found time to fix it and sold it to the scrap man for £5.
