Doing a bit of home renovation at the moment and the builders found these pages behind some old skirting board from the Guardian from the 19th October in 1961...

They actually make great reading of another age in regards to motoring....

I wonder what people with think in 60 years time about todays motoring press coverage... smile

There are a few other articles, but these caught my eye.

What a great find! And from an era when the Guardian didn’t see the car as the devil’s chariot.

An interesting find - I'd bet on that lovely P5 3-litre Saloon being two tone green judging by the tones in the photos.

A proper bank manager's car in its day.
