The number plate on the e type is incorrect for 1963, although silver on black and pressed aluminium the font is 1980's.

Well if we are going to be picky then corrugated steel container wagons hadn't been invented in 1963 either wink

Hmm, rumble strips, chicken wire, not a straw bale in sight, diff oil cooler and the Bizza was made in about 1967 - the Kamm tail gives it away. Never mind, but a pity you didn't post! My school report though says "must try harder next time".

ETA: and the "BGC" on the facade of Earls Court, when enlarged, has Voice and Electronic Brokerage. Hmm
