Great stuff A5, thanks for putting these up. I'm really interested in localised recent history. I find myself more and more these days buying local recent history books, often full of then and now type pictures.

 

I'll also be found trying some of the cars numberplates in the DVLA data base.

I'd guess it's a Jeep chassis as its left hand drive and sports knobbly tyres.
