How about a 'period' classics pictures thread
Discussion
A couple more from my purchased batch of Preston area photos:
1979 MGB GT OEC857V c.1980/81 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
This one is still around and on SORN, MoT apparently expires tomorrow.
1969 Austin Healey Sprite NFV713G c.1980/81 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
This Sprite made it to 1991. Not bad as even by 1980/81 it looks to have seen a bit of life.

Is the top pic Sheringham?
That is what I thought..... Somewhere near the ' Lobster Pot' pub ??Northrepps, Southrepps, Gimingham,Trimingham, Trunch. Use to be a verse from some kids' play or other....

Top pic looks quite Lake District to me, especially with the clothing!

My contact at the local second hand bookshop has acquired another slide collection, these are some of them.
Excellent stuff, great variety to be seen. I'm particularly pleased to see the Datsun Violet content in these two shots. There's a white 140J saloon TOP45S, which DVLA says lasted only until 1984, then a turquoise 160J SSS in the Southwold photo. I had one of the latter and enjoyed many miles in it, same colour but with a vinyl roof for added period charm (and rust around the windscreen edge). Realising this photo was taken in 1996, it could now be considered a period shot itself:Recording of 'Driven' feature on Datsun c.1996 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
I have an old F.W. Pawsey postcard giving pretty much the same shot of Aldeburgh:
Old Postcard - High Street, Aldeburgh, Suffolk by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
When I took approximately the same photo a few years ago there was nothing so interesting to be seen:
High Street, Aldeburgh, Suffolk now and then by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
