A 'period' classics pictures thread (Mk III)

I once drove an LDV 400 with a twin plenum last of the line Rover SD1 Vitesse engine in it. I also heard of one with a Taraka engine in it from a wrecked TVR.

American cars of the 1940s were magnificent. Thanks for posting these videos

My wife's grandmother ...... she thinks . But Why is she talking to cup and saucer?

I've no idea what the car is ......

Just saw this on BBC and thought clip 41 sec to 57 should be posted here. Apologies if wrong thread.

The whole one and a half minutes is a good watch too.

And a damn sight more efficient than CalMac

Interesting to see a predominately British made car park, can't see any Japanese cars there, and only 4 German, with the 2 Beetles, a Type 2 camper and a single Merc. A few Italian's plus a fair number of French, with Citroen, Peugeot and Renault's....plus the two Swedes with a Volvo and a Saab. How times have changed in half a century.

Couple of interesting Fords, with a rare Mk.3 Cortina GT seen, plus an AVO Escort, likely a custom pack Mexico, but could be a RS2000 with vinyl roof option.

There is a Lada though. Or though it might actually be a Fiat estate.

Found a Datsun in the far car park I think...

OK.....just realised you were circling the 120Y behind, not the DAF

Maxi lasted another 10 years. :-

A Marina police car (were there many of those?). Quite a few Rover P6s, XJs (right hand one, second row, looks like a Double-Six V.Plas), two older Rover P4s in the top section, Frogeye, Hillman Husky and 2 x Renault 16s.
