Norwood Road, West Norwood, 1975.

My bus was the last Routemaster on route 68 but that's not it, I can just make out the WLT registration. We are actually quite near the anniversary of that. 

This is midnight on 24th/25th October 1986 at South Croydon Garage. 

 

And back at Norwood Garage at 01.35. On the left is Norwood showbus RM 47 which carried body B5, the first production body but the crew wanted a Leyland for the last bus so RM 2037 was chosen. 

Apologies for the excess words, and quite frankly being in entirely the wrong thread but that night changed my life.

I thought Stag too but it looks like Triumph Wedgewood blue and I've never seen a Stag in Wedgewood. I thought that died with the mk1 2000, 1300 and Herald. Though there was a very brief crossover of Herald and Stag so maybe it's possible, it just looks wierd to me. 

I just thought, it could be a TR6 with hard top fitted.

More likely, the boot's not long enough for  staaaaaag.

But the thick B pillar would say otherwise. That's French blue by the way.

The boot would look shorter with the hard top on. Still say Stag.

So I did a bit of googling and found a mk2 2.5PI in Wedgwood. 

That's lovely isn't it? I'd rather have that over any Stag. But I digress, the point is we are well in to Stag time frame here. So a bit more digging and I found a Stag colour chart and it does list Wedgwood. 

Still don't reckon it was available right through to 1978 and I still don't remember ever seeing one but I'm almost certain that's what it is.

Also sills seem to have covers, so more likely Stag painted in French Blue.

True, it could be French blue on a faded/overdeveloped photo.

Only 6 years on the road for that Princess (the only car I can make out the number plate on).

That would have been about 2002-3. How times change, can you imagine any premier league footballer driving such a car? Even at 17 they’d expect a Ferrari.

That appears to be a 72/3 ford pinto behind the gasboard van on the right.
