Bentley of Crewe pictured presumably down the road in Stoke on Trent looking at the bottle ovens and old guy making a saucer. 
 

Make the same trip today would at best yield a B&M or a patch of waste ground strewn with rubble and fly tipped fridges.

Mum had an extension done in 1976, and one of the two builders got a white Wartburg Knight halfway through the job. Quite a big car at very little more than a base Mini.

Amazingly, a basic Mini in 1976 was 50% more expensive than a Wartburg Knight!
