My father had one of those side cars attached to his Vincent. Four of us used to travel on/in it, Father and Brother (aged about 10) on the bike, mum and me (aged about 5) in the side car. Yorkshire to Devon for a Holiday, back on the train when the big end went...

This is dropping down Winnats Rd heading towards Castleton, Peak District.

Nice that you've managed to add the same kind of filthy marks that are on my slide scan.

No exotic cars on show, but a nice clear picture of Birmingham city centre, around 35 years ago.

I ended up working in two of the buildings in the picture, New Street signal box and Stanier House, the large office building in the background with the BR logo on it.

That's brilliant - all sorts of odd-ball stuff to spot in the traffic.

Brilliant vid. Loads of 1970s stuff still everyday vehicles - Mk 2 Escort, Cortinas, Rover SD1s, Dolomites. And for the plate geeks among us SA 19 - issued in 1904 - on a Merc, now resides on a 1990 fezza.

Only two Audis that I could spot. And a Ferrari 308/328, in white.

Living up to my username, Datsun Laurel spotted at 1:50, and a big old 260C/280C shortly afterwards.

Toyota Land Cruiser at 5:30, maybe an import/foreign visitor as it looks like it might be LHD.

I think that picture shows Navigation Street. Just out of shot to the right of the picture must be the Golden Eagle, Hill Street I think. It was a great music venue in it's day (I played there a few times) but was demolished years ago.

Edit: Is that Drumland to the left on the corner. I played drums back then but don't remember Drumland. I always 'shopped' around the corner (literally) at a shop on Queensway (can't remember the name) or Woodroffes or Musical Exchanges.

It was actually on an Audi 200.

Didn’t see any of the ‘aerodynamic’ Audi 100s, lots of Volvos though and how ubiquitous were the Sierras?! Very few BMWs but more Mercedes. Two 911s, no 924/944s, a couple of XJS’ and a Morris Minor that would have been classic even then.
