Circa Jan / Feb 1969 and my Late Dads Ice Metallic Blue ( best healey color ) Healey 3000MK3 that he bought new in August 1964 from WJ Wells of Woodford is for sale @ that sadly long gone place of Pilgrimage " Performance Cars " Great West Road, London. FVX 803B Where are you Now ???
That Blue Capri was registered UMX 555M.Again 1986, This Auberghine 3000E was a lovely car, shod with Cosmics, originally an Auto but converted to manual. It wasnt that quick off the line, , due i now realise to the Auto diff. Sold it foolishly with anothe Silver 3000GT to a guy from Maidstone way. Think the reg was YCF 346K.

A couple I found in my parents' old photographs:
I'm guessing that they're taken from the "in the future, all people will travel and eat like this" tower at Lancaster (nee Forton) Services on the M6.
My dad had quite a few Volvo's in his lifetime, this being the 1st one I remember riding in.
(a 144 DL). Check out those fancy reclined seats with 'headrests' and huuuuge bumpers!
Here he is with his first BMW, a 1989 525iSE. We all loved this car though, somehow, I was always ended up getting the job of cleaning the alloys (went through a fair few old toothbrushes!).
Somewhere in the south of France.
He eventually replaced with it with a Volvo 940 SE which felt sheet after the lusty Beemer. The 940 got chopped for another E34 for a few more years before going back to some more Volvos (850, S60, XC70).

Taken at a classic car meeting in around 1971 at Hockley Heath
Me proudly driving my 4 year old Dolomite 1500HL in 1981 Bridge Street Stratford on Avon.
1982 my workplace Stratford on Avon
Turning the clock back to 1972 and a visit to Blackpool. Note the triprint high tech idea.
1972 back home and view from my parents house, extra points for identifying cars under the snow
